Notes From Elsewhere
[Malta or blood red oranges] Dr Bonavia says Colonel Clarke introduced these from Malta in 1852-56. Dr Bonavia himself introduced the same orange into Lucknow in 1863 [A dictionary of economic products of India, vol. 2]
Crossing the canal and turning to the right, one comes to the Wingfield Park, a handsome garden of about 40 acres, which owes much of its beauty to the taste and skill of Dr Bonavia [a Handbook for visitors to Lucknow]
[Lucknow Museum 1888]: The Chief Commissioner, while acknowledging the benefits that would be derived by establishing a Central Museum at Lucknow and placing it under the superintendence of Dr. Bonavia, whose scientific attainments duly fnialified him for the charge, did not sanction the use of the Lai Baradari building for a Museum, but added that he would make over the large Baradari, which was for- merly used as a jail, prcnided that arrangements were made to remove the Police Hospital, which then occupied the latter building, to some other place.
The large Baradari was inspected by the Commissioner and Dr. Bonavia and was found unsuitable for a Museum. ...
Dr. Bonavia, M.D. There appears a break in the correspondence at this stage of the proceedings ; but it is clear tliat a Museum was opene<l in the Chatr Manzil building and the management of the institution was entrust- ed to Dr. Bonavia. By some mistake the Tara Kothi was leased to the Ban*bf Bengal, and it was in December, 1863, that tlie Commissioner again took up the question of a suitable building for the Museum and in- sisted on its being located in the L61 Baradari. In December, ISG-i, Dr. Bonavia submitted a report on the con- dition of the Museum as it then stood, from which it appears that tlie institution was maintained by a municipal grant of Es. 100 per mensem, and that it had created much interest among tl\c native population of the province. Colonel Barrow forwarded Dr. Bona^•ia's report to Ciovem- ment, recommending that the monthly allu\\auce be raise^l to Ks. 2U0.
