January 19, 1841. 



Mr. Forster, V.P., in the Chair. 



John MacClelland, Esq., of the Hon. East India Company's Me- 

 dical Service, was elected a Fellow ; and Mr. F. Westcott, of Bir- 

 mingham, an Associate of the Society. 



Mr, Mann, F.L.S., exhibited a specimen of Sedum Telephium, 

 which had been preserved for two years in his Herbarium, and still 

 continued to send forth buds. 



Mr. Babington, F.L.S., exhibited some Fir-cones taken from be- 

 neath about ten feet of solid peat at Burrishoole, near Newport, co. 

 Mayo, where they were accompanied by nuts of Corylus Avellana. 

 He stated that the trees in that part of Ireland had all been de- 

 stroyed for about 200 years, and that no individuals of either species 

 now occur within very many miles, except a few planted of late 

 years and far from this locahty. Professor Don remarked, that the 

 Cones diifered from either of the varieties of Pinus sylvestris at pre- 

 sent found in Scotland ; and that they so entirely resembled those of 

 the alpine form of that species, figured by Jacquin under the name of 

 Pinus Miighus, as to leave but httle doubt of their identity. He 

 added, that he regarded Pinus Pumilio as only another form of the 

 same species.
