LINNEAN SOCIETY OF LONDON. 



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

 chaii'. — The death of Mr. Eichard Kippist, the Society's former 

 Librarian, was announced, and the meeting recorded their sense of 

 his efficient and faithful service for nearly half a century. — A 

 valuable donation of books from the late Treasurer (Mr. Fred.
