In his library were found not only consecutive note-books, beautifully written and indexed, but others, each devoted to a special subject. Such for instance w^ere— I. Papers relating to Rottlera tinctoria, Roxb., and Kamala. II. Notes on Turkish Materia Medica. III. Papers relating to odoriferous species of Andro- pogon, chiefly East Indian. IV. Papers relating to the Pharmacopoeia of India. V. Notes and Memoranda relating to Storax and Liquid ambar. VI. Notes on Cardamoms and various other Scitami- neous Fruits and Seeds. These contained memoranda, personal observations, letters, price lists, scraps from newspapers, and infor- mation drawn from commercial men, books ancient and modern, travellers, men of science, maps, and missionaries. Also notes and inquiries to and from young men who had obtained foreign posts and gone abroad. The com- plete series of his papers is over eighty in number ; they are beyond criticism, and are uniformly original, ^^ientiiic Many have made their appearance in various scientific journals—English, American, and foreign. A reference has been given to such as have been translated in Buchner's Neues Repertorium fur Pharmacie, Munich—a publi- cation which Daniel Hanbury held in special esteem.
