(See Harvey on Algæ.) This species looked almost edible, at least, I thought that if I were starving I would try it. One sailor told me that the cows ate it. It cut like cheese; for I took the earliest opportunity to sit down and deliberately whittle up a fathom or two of it, that I might become more intimately acquainted with it, see how it cut, and if it were hollow all the way through. The blade looked like a broad belt, whose edges had been quilled, or as if stretched by hammering, and it was also twisted spirally. The extremity was generally worn and ragged from the lashing of the waves. A piece of the stem which I carried home shrunk to one quarter of its size a week afterward, and was completely covered with crystals of salt like frost. The reader will excuse my greenness –though it is not sea-greenness, like his, perchance– for I live by a river shore, where this weed does not wash up. When we consider in what meadows it grew, and how it was raked, and in what kind of hay weather got in or out, we may well be curious about it. One who is weather- wise, has given the following account of the matter:– “When descends on the Atlantic, The gigantic Storm-wind of the equinox, Landward in his wrath he scourges The toiling surges, Laden with sea-weed from the rocks. “From Bermuda’s reefs, from edges Of sunken ledges, On some far-off bright Azore; From Bahama and the dashing, Silver-flashing Surges of San Salvador; “From the tumbling surf that buries The Orkneyan Skerries, Answering the hoarse Hebrides; And from wrecks of ships and drifting Spars, uplifting On the desolate rainy seas; “Ever drifting, drifting, drifting On the shifting Currents of the restless main.” WILLIAM HENRY HARVEY HDT WHAT?

INDEX THE PEOPLE OF CAPE COD:WILLIAM HENRY HARVEY PEOPLE MENTIONED IN CAPE COD 1811 February 5, Tuesday: William Henry Harvey was born at Summerville near Limerick, Ireland, the youngest of 11 children of Friend Joseph Massey Harvey and Friend Rebecca Mark Harvey. His father, Friend Joseph Massey Harvey, was a prominent merchant. He would start his education at Ballitore School in County Kildare (a Quaker institution, emphasizing science). Upon leaving school he would join the family business. In person I am tall, and in a good degree awkward. I am silent, and when I do speak say little, particularly to people of whom I am afraid, or with whom I am not intimate. I care not for city sports, or for the diversions of the country. I am equally unknown to any healthful amusement of boys. I cannot swim nor skate. I know nothing of the delight of these, and yet I can amuse myself and be quite happy, seemingly without any one to share my happiness. My botanical knowledge extends to about thirty of the commonest plants. I am very fond of botany, but I have not much opportunity of learning anything, because I have only to show the plant to James White, who tells me all about it, which I forget the next minute. My mineralogy embraces about twelve minerals, of which I know only the names. I am totally unacquainted with foreign shells, and know only about two hundred and fifty native ones. As to ornithology, I have stuffed about thirteen birds. In chemistry I read a few books, and tried some experiments. In lithography I broke a stone and a printing press. These are my pretensions to science. King George III of England having been legally declared to have become in some unknown manner incapacitated –insane– George, Prince of Wales set his signature to documents making him regent for his father. He was 48 years old while his whacko daddyo was 72. (Although by strict interpretation the Regency Era begins in this year and ends in 1820 with the death of George III and the crowning of the Prince Regent as King George IV, in common use the term often describes a broader era, to wit the period between the end of the Georgian age and the beginning of the Victorian age, many of what we term “Regency” romances actually being set during the previous decade.)

The proceedings seems to have amused him: The President wore a three-cocked hat of ample dimensions, and sat in a crimson arm-chair in great state. I saw a number of new Fellows admitted. They were marched one by one to the president, who rose, and taking them by the hand, admitted them. The process costs £25.

  • Carl Peter Thunberg and Japanese Natural History

    Carl Peter Thunberg and Japanese Natural History

    ISSN: 2186-8476, ISSN: 2186-8468 Print Vol. 2 No. 2, June 2013 CARL PETER THUNBERG AND JAPANESE NATURAL HISTORY Bertil Nordenstam Department of Phanerogamic Botany, Swedish Museum of Natural History, Box 50007, SE-10405 Stockholm, SWEDEN. 1 [email protected] ABSTRACT Carl Peter Thunberg (1743-1828) was the most famous of Linnaeus’s pupils and became known as the `Linnaeus of Japan`. However, he was a zoologist almost as much as a botanist and should be remembered also for his lasting contributions to zoology, especially entomology. He published about 160 zoological papers, 90 of which dealt with insects, and he described more than 1,500 new species of insects. One of his first scientific papers dealt with the new grasshopper genus Pneumora from South Africa. Thunberg’s insect collections amount to 36,000 specimens and are largely intact as today. He was also the author of several mammals, such as the Brown Hyaena, and a number of reptiles and fishes, including several new species from Japan. Keywords: Thunberg, Japanese natural history, Entomology, Linnaean disciple, Taxonomy, History of science INTRODUCTION We tend to think of Linnaeus and many of his foremost pupils as botanists. Linnaeus has been famed as ‘ Princeps botanicorum’ , and his perhaps most successful disciple, Carl Peter Thunberg (1743—1828; Fig. 1), has been named the ‘Father of South African Botany’ and also the ‘Linnaeus of Japan’. However, most of the Linnaean apostles, like Linnaeus himself, were medical doctors and zoologists as well – in fact they are better labeled as naturalists, or natural history scientists. Their academic positions were not in botany, but rather in medicine and botany, and similar combinations.

HUNT Wesley House, 10 Milton Park, Redfield, Bristol, BS5 9HQ Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT With particular reference to Gattyʼs British Sea-Weeds and Eliotʼs ʻRecollections of Ilfracombeʼ, this article takes an ecocritical approach to popular writings about seaweed, thus illustrating the broader perception of the natural world in mid-Victorian literature. This is a discursive exploration of the way that the enthusiasm for seaweed reveals prevailing ideas about propriety, philanthropy and natural theology during the Victorian era, incorporating social history, gender issues and natural history in an interdisciplinary manner. Although unchaperoned wandering upon remote shorelines remained a questionable activity for women, ʻseaweedingʼ made for a direct aesthetic engagement with the specificity of place in a way that conforms to Barbara Gatesʼs notion of the ʻVictorian female sublimeʼ.

    Elias Magnus Fries Och Carl Adolph Agardh Om Vetenskaplig Metodik Och Möjligheten Att Konstruera Ett Naturligt System Inom Botaniken

    Elias Magnus Fries och Carl Adolph Agardh om vetenskaplig metodik och möjligheten att konstruera ett naturligt system inom botaniken Lunds universitet Magnus Krook Språk- och litteraturcentrum Magisteruppsats LATM04 Lund 2014 Handledare: Professor Arne Jönsson Abstract Kring sekelskiftet 1800 dominerades den svenska botaniska forskningen av Carl von Linnés vetenskapliga gärning som hos hans omedelbara efterföljare stelnat i ortodoxi och brist på kreativitet. Den från Tyskland emanerande romantiska naturfilosofin med Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph von Schelling som förgrundsgestalt gav efterhand avtryck även inom den svenska naturvetenskapen. Botanikerna Carl Adolph Agardh (1785-1859) och Elias Magnus Fries (1794-1878) var båda djupt påverkade av den romantiska filosofin i sina vetenskapliga arbeten. En av romantikens centrala idéer var att det bakom de olika naturalstrens mångfald fanns en enhet för naturforskaren att upptäcka, och både Agardh och Fries omfattade denna tanke fullt ut. Agardh var huvudsakligen specialiserad på alger, Fries ägnade sig åt svampar och lavar. Linné hade åstadkommit ett artificiellt system för växterna som fått stor spridning, men hans ouppfyllda mål var att upprätta ett naturligt system. Agardh och Fries tog vid där Linné slutade. Med utgångspunkt från den romantiska filosofin angriper de växtvärldens systematisering från var sin ände. Fries börjar med de högst utvecklade växterna och arbetar sig nedåt. Genom en strikt logisk metod delar han in växtvärlden i allt mindre enheter. Agardh avvisar däremot logikens användning inom biologin. Han utgår från de lägst utvecklade växterna och arbetar sig uppåt, en process där de empiriska erfarenheterna bit för bit fogas samman till en helhet. Agardh och Fries företrädde utvecklingstankar som stod i stark motsättning till den moderna evolutionsteorin.

    Biblioqraphy & Natural History

    BIBLIOQRAPHY & NATURAL HISTORY Essays presented at a Conference convened in June 1964 by Thomas R. Buckman Lawrence, Kansas 1966 University of Kansas Libraries University of Kansas Publications Library Series, 27 Copyright 1966 by the University of Kansas Libraries Library of Congress Catalog Card number: 66-64215 Printed in Lawrence, Kansas, U.S.A., by the University of Kansas Printing Service. Introduction The purpose of this group of essays and formal papers is to focus attention on some aspects of bibliography in the service of natural history, and possibly to stimulate further studies which may be of mutual usefulness to biologists and historians of science, and also to librarians and museum curators. Bibli• ography is interpreted rather broadly to include botanical illustration. Further, the intent and style of the contributions reflects the occasion—a meeting of bookmen, scientists and scholars assembled not only to discuss specific examples of the uses of books and manuscripts in the natural sciences, but also to consider some other related matters in a spirit of wit and congeniality. Thus we hope in this volume, as in the conference itself, both to inform and to please. When Edwin Wolf, 2nd, Librarian of the Library Company of Phila• delphia, and then Chairman of the Rare Books Section of the Association of College and Research Libraries, asked me to plan the Section's program for its session in Lawrence, June 25-27, 1964, we agreed immediately on a theme. With few exceptions, we noted, the bibliography of natural history has received little attention in this country, and yet it is indispensable to many biologists and to historians of the natural sciences.

    A review of sub tidal kelp forests in Ireland: from first descriptions to new habitat monitoring techniques Kathryn Schoenrock1, Kenan Chan1, Tony O'Callaghan2, Rory O'Callaghan2, Aaron Golden1, Stacy Krueger-Hadfield3, and Anne Marie Power1 1NUI Galway 2Seasearch Ireland 3University of Alabama at Birmingham April 28, 2020 Abstract Aim Kelp forests worldwide are important marine ecosystems that foster high primary to secondary productivity and multi- ple ecosystem services. These ecosystems are increasingly under threat from extreme storms, changing ocean temperatures, harvesting, and greater herbivore pressure at regional and global scales, necessitating urgent documentation of their histori- cal to present day distributions. Species range shifts to higher latitudes have already been documented in some species that dominate subtidal habitats within Europe. Very little is known about kelp forest ecosystems in Ireland, where rocky coastlines are dominated by Laminaria hyperborea. In order to rectify this substantial knowledge gap, we compiled historical records from an array of sources to present historical distribution, kelp and kelp forest recording effort over time, and present rational for the monitoring of kelp habitats to better understand ecosystem resilience. Location Ireland (Northern Ireland and Eire).´ Methods Herbaria, literature from the Linnaean society dating back to late 1700s, journal articles, government reports, and online databases were scoured for information on L. hyperborea. Information about kelp ecosystems was solicited from dive clubs and citizen science groups that are active along Ireland's coastlines. Results Data were used to create distribution maps, analyse methodology and technology used to record L. hyperborea presence and kelp ecosystems within Ireland. We discuss the recent surge in studies on Irish kelp ecosystems and fauna associated with kelp ecosystems that may be used as indicators of ecosystem health and suggest methodologies for continued monitoring.

Menzies had earlier served on a fur-trading vessel plying the northeastem Pacific and had collected plants from the Bering Strait to Nootka Sound, on the west coast of Vancouver Island, in the years 1787 and 1788 (Jepson, 1929b; Scagel, 1957, p. 4), but I hav e come across no records of algae collected by him at that time. As a young midshipman Vancouver had been to the northeastern Pacific with Cook's third voyage in 1778. Now, in 1791, his expedition consisted of two ships, the sloop Discovery and the armed tender Chatham. The ships cam e to the north Pacific by way of the Cape of Good Hope, Australia, New Zealand, Tahiti, and the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii). They sailed from Hawaii on March 16, 1792, sighted the Mendocino coast of Califomia ( or Nova Albion [New Britain], the name given to northem California and Oregon by Drake and the name by which thi s region was still known among English navigators in Vancouver's time) on April 18, and proceeded north to explore the coast.
