184 HISTORY OF THE COUNTY BOTANY OF WORCESTER. AuG., 1890. 
whose names deserve honourable mention as contributors to 
the Botany of Worcester. They are the Rev. Canon Cradock, 
Rector of Tedstone Delamere, since Master of Brasenose 
College, Oxford; the Rev. J. H. Thompson, of St. Nicholas, 
Worcester, since Incumbent of Cradley, near Halesowen ; 
Mr. Thomas Baxter, second Master of the College School at 
Worcester; Mr. Thomas Westcombe, and Mr. Thomas Reece, 
Curator of the Worcester Museum. I wfis connected by ties 
of personal friendship with most of these gentlemen, and 
have to lament that all but Mr. Westcombe have joined the 
majority.
