Abstract
THE lives and labours of those eminent English botanists and naturalist travellers, Sir William and Sir Joseph Hooker, and their connexion with Halesworth, Suffolk, will receive recognition on Aug. 17, through the unveiling of a tablet memorial in St. Mary's Church, Halesworth, a dedicatory duty to be performed by Sir David Prain, a former director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The requisite funds for the erection of the tablet were provided by a number of representative scientific institutions, supplemented by contributions from a small band of botanists and others who were contemporary with Sir Joseph Hooker.
