LINNEAN Sf^CTETT OP LONDOT^. 27 



believe it to have been drawn from Liniifcus. It is evidently the 

 work of one vfho was expert with the pencil. 



A pastel of Liunseus said to be by Luudberg is in the 

 possession of O. Wijk, a merchant at Goteborg, who purchased it 

 some twelve years ago at an auction. It was previously unknown. 



A small oil portrait, reported to have been given by Linnseus 

 to his brother, a pastor in 8m?iland, came into the possession of 

 the late Prof. Eetzius, whose widow now has it at Stockholm. 



Prof. TuUberg of TJpsala has a drawing of Linnjeus, which is, 

 however, in a very bad condition. 



An unsigned and very poor portrait, to which I have not 

 before referred, hangs on the walls of the house at Hammarby. 



Sir Joseph Banks presented to the Society a large medallion of 

 Linna?us, which he attributed to Archeveque. The original in 

 white marble was placed in the palace at Drotningholm. Prof. 

 Torell informs me that it is not the work of Archeveque, but of 

 his distinguished pupil Sergei. It differs so much from the 

 other representations of Linnanis in the line of the forehead and 

 nose, and in the projection of the eyebrows, that I hesitate to 

 accept it as a trustworthy likeness. These peculiarities do not 

 apjDcar in Sergei's bronze medallion on the monument of Lin- 

 naeus in Upsala Cathedral, a copy of which is in the Museum at 

 Kew. Other copies of the Sergei profile exist at Stockholm and 

 Upsala. There is an engraving by Snack, to which I have already 

 referred, of a profile portrait in an oval frame. It is a poor 

 work, and may be a modified copy of Sergei's profile, or perhaps 

 an attempt to convert Krafft's full-face painting into a profile 

 medallion. 



The busts aud statues of Linnaeus are all posthumous. Dr. 

 N. J. Andersson presented to the Society a copy of a bust 

 by Forsslund which belongs to the Royal x\cademy at Stockholm. 

 An engraving of this was made by Akerland, which is inscribed 

 " Carolo a Linne Smalando Immortali Naturae Interpi'eti diem 

 ejus post saeculum natalem xxiv. Mali mdcccvii. festive agen- 

 tes Conterranei." 



The cast of a second bust is placed above the Pasch portrait 

 in the Library. It was presented by Mrs. Brown in 1885. I 

 have not been able to ascertain the name of the sculptor, or 

 where the original bust exists. This busit was used for the 

 profile on the Society's Linnean Medal. 



The students of Upsala, in 1822, placed in the Botanic Garden 

 there a msirble statue of Linnaeus by Byslrom. Linnaeus has on 

 his Academic gown, and is seated witli a book in his left hand 

 and his right slightly raised, as if addressing his students. 



In 1885 a bronze statue of Linnams was unveiled at Stock- 

 holm. It is the work of J. P. Kjellberg. The artist's model for 

 this fine statue was reproduced in metal, three copies only being 

 cast. One is the property of the King of Sweden, who is an 

 honorary member of this Society ; the second is in the National
