An original Member of the Linnean Society. Mr. Lambert, being pos- 

 sessed of a considerable fortune, was able to devote himself to science. He 

 formed a large herbarium which was liberally opened to men of science. 

 His name will be always associated with the genus Piuus, which he mono- 

 graphed in two magnificent volumes. Douglas dedicated to him a fine 

 species which he discovered in Western America : its tall stem, horizontal 

 branches and huge pendent cones make it a striking feature on the slopes 

 of the Rocky Mountains. Lambert ])resented to the Society several papers 

 on the zoology and botany of Britain, and interesting biogra])hical notices 

 of Peter Collinson and Patrick Browne. He was, at his death in 18'42, 

 the last survivor of the original Members of the Society, and he had been 

 one of its Vice-Presidents for nearly fifty years.
