These new views first enunciated at the meeting of the 

 Linnean Society have not only transformed and stimulated 

 the study of the Biological Sciences but have revolutionised 

 every sphere of thought. 



Whilst congratulating the Linnean Society on so dis- 

 tinguished an event in its annals, the Manchester University 

 wishes to express its hope for the continuance of the signal 

 successful labours of the Linnean Society in encouraging and 

 promoting the study of Biological Science.

THE LINNEAN SOCIETY OF LONDON 



ON THE OCCASION OP 



THE DARWIN- WALL ACE CELEBRATION, 



July 1st, 1908. 



A YEAR ago the Linnean Society took part with other 

 similar Scientific Societies throughout the civilised world 

 in celebrating the 200th anniversary of the birth of the 

 distinguished Swede CARL VON LINNE, who may be said 

 to have laid the foundations of modern Botany and Zoology. 

 This year the Society asks others to join with her in rejoicing 

 at the Jubilee of a still greater event in the history of 

 Science the birth of a movement which has revolutionised 

 Biology, and has extended far into other fields of thought.
