14. Richard Blackwall, appointed 24th June, 1689. See below.

15. Samuel Hart, appointed Surgeon at Hugli 17th Aug., 1686; came to Madras with the other Bengal officials in Feb., 1688/89, and then appointed Surgeon of Fort St. George. The Cons, of 29th Dec, 1692, order his discharge, on the arrival of Bulkley from England. Hart continued to hve at Madras for many years. His name is shown in the lists of inhabitants, not Company's servants, up to Dec, 1707. He was thrice married. In May, 1693, his name is entered among the freemen inhabitants of Madras, with the note, "Married a Georgian." For several years, prior to and including 1706, he is entered as "Married a Casteez," i.e. a Portuguese woman of pure European descent. In Dec, 1707, he is shown as "married an English- woman." Two children, Elizabeth and Susanna Hart, are entered in the lists for that month. This is the last hst which contains his name.

20. John Cotter, Surgeon at Vizagapatam, in list of Jan., 1696/97. Ten years before, in Jan., 1686/87, John Cotter, Surgeon of the Dragon, probably the same man, had been removed from his ship for mutiny. According to the evidence, his crime, though perhaps technically mutiny, seems rather to have been attempted desertion.

22. Charles Verrall, apprentice to Dr. Bulkley, 12th Aug., 1700.

A few of these Surgeons deserve somewhat fuller notice—Bulkley, Browne, Blackwall, and Faucet. Further particulars about Warren, Watson, and Gray are given in Chap. VIII; Early History; Bengal and the Bay.
