From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This user is Osborne Morton. Until July 2007 he was a curator in Botany in the Ulster Museum, Belfast, Northern Ireland. His main interest is in the algae, however also interested in the lichens and birds. He intended to read the Tutorial some time! but it is a long job!

Why study algae? "To be useless, various and abstruse is a sufficient recommendation of a science to make it pleasing to me." (- Harvey, W.H. in reference to algology as noted in Fisher, L. 1869. Memoir of W.H.Harvey.)

This user lives in the United Kingdom.

Time is passing. As the Ulster Museum has closed to the public and I have been moved, with others, to temporary buildings in Cultra, Co.Down, Northern Ireland,there is little need of me! I therefore will retire on the 4th July 2007. Thanks and best wishes to all who have helped me add to Wikipedia. By-by 16.05 Osborne 15:05, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
