The Secretary read a letter from Dr. Evcen Se tt, of Berlin, 
announcing that Pror. A. W. Hormann would celebrate the jubilee 
of his doctorate on August 9th, 1891. Dr. Boiron stated that by 
chance he was in Berlin and assisted at the pleasant ceremonial.

Coleopterological Notices, No. III. 
BY THOMAS L. CASEY. 
[This paper will be published in the Annas, Vol. VI, Nos. 2 
and 3. | 
The Secretary announced that he had received a copy of the will 
of Mme. ANNE EmI“iE CLARA GoGueEtT, widow of Monsizrur Maroc 
GuzMAN, who died at Pau, France, in the Convent of l’Espérance, 
June 30th, 1891. By this will the New York Academy is to re- 
ceive a legacy of 100,000 francs, provided two other institutions 
decline the conditions; these institutions are, first, the Academy of 
Sciences, Paris, and, second, the Academy of Sciences at Milan. 
The conditions are peculiar, viz.: the sum named to be awarded as 
a prize to the person who succeeds in communicating with one of 
the planets and receiving a reply, the planet Mars being excepted 
as it is sufficiently well known. A second clause, however, names 
conditions which are more easily fulfilled, and it is highly improb- 
able that the New York Academy of Sciences will receive the 
legacy. The will is here given in full in the original language.
