3. Dr. Balfour read a report on the Progress and State of Botany in 

 Britain from February 1840 to January 1841, being a continuation 

 of a paper on the same subject submitted by Dr. Greville to the So- 

 ciety, and printed in its Transactions*. 



Dr. Balfour noticed the various discoveries which had been made 

 in structural, physiological and descriptive botany, — the floras, 

 monographs and catalogues which had appeared, — the additions 

 made to our knowledge of fossil botany, — the discoveries in the 

 theory of agriculture and vegetable chemistry, and concluded with 

 a catalogue raisonne of all the works and papers on botanical sub- 

 jects which had been published in Britain during the period em- 

 braced by his report. 



4. Dr. Balfour next read a communication which he had received 

 from Mr. Ralfs of Penzance, relative to the following species of 

 >Algae:— 



* The report for the year 1841 will be given by Dr. Graham.
