ON ANOTHER ANNOTATED COPY OF
WARNER'S "PLANTAE WOODFORDIENSES."
BY PERCY THOMPSON, F.L.S.
(With Two Plates.)
[Read 27th November, 1920.]
AT the Meeting held on 29th October, 1919, I had the
pleasure to read before the Club a paper on a copy of
Richard Warner's Plantae Woodfordienses,1 which, as I hope
I proved, contained numerous manuscript annotations made
by Benjamin Meggot Forster, a member of a well-known family
of Walthamstow botanists whose biographies I sketched in out-
line.
At the Meeting, Professor G. S. Boulger exhibited another
and similar copy of the Plantae2 belonging to Dr. B. Daydon
Jackson, the amiable General Secretary of the Linnean Society,
which copy likewise contained manuscript annotations, these
being the work of Benjamin's more famous brother, Edward
Forster, whose autograph appears on the flyleaf.
Dr. Daydon Jackson was good enough to suggest that I should
"write up" his copy of Warner's book in the same way as I had
the copy belonging to Mr. Holdsworth, and offered to entrust
1. Essex Naturalist, xix., p. 72.
2. ibid., p. 175.
