Abstract
IN 1931 I appealed in NATURE1 for information for a biography of William Hyde Wollaston. Since then, probably all printed information of any importance has been supplemented by a large amount of unpublished material. In the collection of the latter, much of which is of great interest, I have received very generous help from many sources.
