"Athenaeum, Oct. 31, 1842. 

 " My dear Sir, 



" I am desirous of leaving behind me a small token of remembrance to the 

 Linnean Society, among whom I have found, and I believe retained, many 

 friends. 



" I wish it had been something better than a Portrait of myself; but if they 

 will do me the honour to accept of it, there are some perhaps who will occasion- 

 ally call to mind the many pleasant, and to me profitable, hours we have spent

" I am, my dear Sir, 



" Most faithfully and sincerely yours, 



(Signed) « J. E. Bicheno."
