One of the chief contributors to the Hailstone collection was 
Richard Spruce, who was born at Ganthorpe, near Castle 
Howard, Yorkshire, Sept. 10th, 1817. He was the son of a school¬ 
master, and his home and birthplace was in the centre of a rich 
botanical district. The splendid woods and quarries of Castle 
Howard, and the famous Terrington Carr early attracted his 
attention, and as a result of the perseverance of this accurate 
botanist, several rare and remarkable mosses and hepatics were 
added to the British Flora. In most of his early rambles he was 
accompanied by Henry Ibbotson, whose career will be referred to 
later on. These two botanists explored the interesting dales of 
the Swale, Tees, Esk, Wharfe and Nidd, and many other botanical 
districts in Yorkshire.
