THE COLLECTION Personal and biographical information about Harry Bolus and his family can be found in Section A, as well as their individual plant lists and drawings. The major part of the Collection consists of botanical correspondence from South African botanists and from others all over the world to Harry Bolus and his niece H M L Bolus, and to the Bolus Herbarium at the University of Cape Town, after it was established there. There is also a large section of botanist's lists, registers and collecting diaries. Biographical information on Bolus Herbarium staff members and details of salary scales, work records, diaries etc are in Section B. Most of the staff biographies were compiled by Mrs M R Levyns. Harry Bolus's Herbarium Library Catalogue 1865-1911 is also in this section. Photographs of the Bolus family and their home 'Sherwood' in Kenilworth, and of many of the botanists, whose correspondence and plant lists are in the collection, are in Section F. See also 'The Bolus Herbarium and Library 1865-1985 by Diana Rex in Jagger Journal No. 5, 1984/85 I N T R O D U C T I O N BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES Harry Bolus was born in Nottingham, England in 1834. He came out to South African in 1850 as an assistant to William Kensit, a trader of Grahamstown, whose sister Sophia, he afterwards married. After a period in Port Elizabeth, they went to Graaff Reinet where H B worked for an insurance and trust company until 1874. In 1875 he joined his brother, Walter, in Cape Town as a partner in Bolus Brothers, Stockbrokers. An earlier interest in botany had been rekindled by Prof F Guthrie of Graaff Reinet and with great dedication H B acquired an extensive knowledge of the subject. He journeyed throughout South Africa, studying the flora, especially that of the Cape Colony and encouraging correspondence from people who were interested in the plants of their own areas. In this way knowledge of South African flora was greatly increased. Frequent visits were made to Kew in England, taking supplies of botanical specimens for study and comparison, his own particular interests being orchids and Cape heaths. About these he wrote a number of articles and works, including that on the Ericaceae for Harvey and Sonder's 'Flora Capensis' and many treatises on orchids. Bolus bursaries did much to encourage the study of botany and in his will H B left his herbarium and botanical library to the University of Cape Town, providing for their upkeep and expansion. The Chair of Botany was named in his honour in 1917. Harriet Margaret Louisa (Kensit) Bolus became curatrix of the Bolus Herbarium, serving it devotedly for nearly 60 years, and even after her retirement, until her death in 1970. For more than 10 years, before her uncle's death in 1911, she had been his secretary and companion as well as his assistant in his herbarium and library. She was herself a botanist of international repute, with special interests in mesembryanthemum and Erica.
