Abstract
BOTANISTS and zoologists alike will remember the services rendered to science by the late J. J. Monteiro, in conjunction with his wife, both in western and eastern tropical Africa, and his modest volumes on Angola and the River Congo, dedicated to his partner in the pleasures and dangers of life in a tropical climate, and his zealous aid in the collecting of objects of natural history. He was one of the three almost contemporaneous discoverers of that very remarkable plant the Welwitschia mirabilis—the others being Welwitsch and Baines; and he sent some of the finest specimens of it in existence to this country.
