Gelehrte Gesellschaften. 



Linnean Society of London. 



January 19th. 1882. — Sir John Lubbock, Bart., F.R.S. , in the 

 chair. — The death of Mr. Richard Kippist, the Society's former Libra- 

 rian, was announced, and the meetig recorded their sense of his efficient and 

 faithful service for nearly half a century. — A valuable donation of books 

 from the late Treasm-er (Mr. Fred. Currey) was also announced, and the 

 Society's thanks accorded. — A paper was read by Mr. George Maw, viz., 

 „Notes on the Lifehistory of a Crocus, and Classification and Geographical 

 Distribution of the Genus." — The Rev. G. lleiislow read a Note on the 

 occurrence of a Staminiferous Corolla in Digitalis purpurea and in Solanum 

 tuberosum ; staminody in either case having hitherto been but seldom recorded 

 and figured. 



February 2nd, 1882. — C. B. Clarke, M.A., Vice-President, in the 

 chair. — The Rev. B. Scortechini and Mr. John Marshall were 

 elected Fellows of the Society. — Mr. E. M. Holmes drew attention to 

 specimens of Cinchona bark cultivated in Bolivia, belonging to the verde and 

 morada varieties of Calisaya, which have hitherto not been cultivated in the 

 colonies, but deserve notice on account of the large yield of bark and good 

 percentage of quinine, on which account they are found to pay the Bolivian 

 planters better than the well-known Ledgeriana Calisaya. — Mr. John R. 

 Jackson exhibited a specimen of the Australian native „Pituri" bag. For- 

 merly the leaf of the plant was only known , but Baron v. Müller quite 

 lately has found fruit and flower , and identified the same with Duboisia
