PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 
and Curator of tlie Herbarium to the University of Dublin, Professor of Botany 
to the Museum of Irish Industry, Member of the Royal Irish Academy, Member 
of the Royal Dublin Society, Honorary Member of the Horticultural Society 
and of several foreign scientific associations. The following are the literal- 
works which he has published, or with which he was connected :—“ Phycologia 
Britannica,” “The Manual of British Algae,” “Xereis Australis,” “The Sea¬ 
side Book.” “Phycologia Australica,” “ Flora Capensis,” “Xereis Boreale 
Americana,” “ Index Generum Algorum ;” numerous contributions to “Hooker's 
•Journal of Botany,” the Linnean Society, Royal Irish Academy, Dublin Xatural 
Historv Soeietv, and other scientific societies. As Professor of Botanv to the 
University of Dublin he took much interest in its botanic garden; and, filling a 
like office to the Royal Dublin Society, he took much interest also in the fine 
botanic gardens belonging to this society. Though an ardent inquirer in the 
general field of botany, his speciality was in the study and illustration of marine 
botany, and as an algologist he had no superior. From an early period of life 
he was an enthusiastic student in natural history, but especially in the botanical 
department. In its pursuit he made a voyage round the world. He also visited 
the United States of America and Canada, and three times visited the Cape of 
Good Hope, where he spent several years. In his tour round the globe he 
visited Ceylon, the various colonies in Australia, Tan Diemen’s Land, Xew 
Zealand, the islands in the South Pacific Ocean, Cliili, and home to Europe by 
the Isthmus of Panama. 
29th May. —Jonathan Clark, Esq., of The Mall, Chiswick, W., aged 76; 
for many years one of the auditors of this society. 
31st May.— George John Warren, fifth Baron Vernon, of Ivinderton, aged 
62. Seat, Sudbury Hall, Derby. Corresponding Member of the Society della 
Crusea. He published the four first editions of Dante in parallel columns, and 
was engaged for many years in the preparation of anillustrated and paraphrased 
edition of the works of Dante, which will shortly be published. His garden is 
extensive, and was originally laid out by Gilpin in 1837, at which date many 
varieties of coniferous and evergreen trees and shrubs were planted, and amongst 
others he introduced the Berberis, which has now become so general. Before 
selling the property he possessed in that town, he gave, in 1850, a public park 
to the people of Stockport, which town adjoins his colliery property in Cheshire. 
He was an enthusiast about rifle shooting. Many years before that subject 
occupied the attention of the British public, he contended annually at the various 
Tirs in Switzerland—on one occasion winning the first prize at the Tir Xational, 
and on another occasion the second. On the establishment of the Volunteer 
force in this country he was one of its warmest and earliest supporters, and 
erected in his park at Sudbury a butt with twelve targets, on the Swiss 
principle, with the view of proving, as he did conclusively, that that system 
ensured greater rapidity of firing, greater accuracy of marking, and greater 
safety than any other which is followed in this country.

26th June. —Richard Garrett, Esq., of Carlton Hall, Saxmundham, Suffolk, 
aged 60. Among the public movements which first enlisted Mr. Garrett’s 
interest was the Royal Agricultural Society of England. In its earliest days 
he was one of the first exhibitors at its annual meetings, and afterwards he was 
elected, for many years in succession, one of the members of the Council, and 
none took a more active part in its useful operations. The Smithfield Club also 
found him a most earnest supporter, and he was among the first who promoted 
and supported its exhibition of agricultural machinery. When its increasing
