approaching to half a century, has enrolled among 
its members from the beginning names illustrious 
as well by high birth, as by high claims to scientific 
distinction, in France, and Holland, and Germany ; 
in Switzerland, in Italy, and Spain, as well as in 
England; and in its later days the catalogue is 
swelled with names from America and India. 
An original list of the 36 Fellows and 16 Associ- 
ates may not be unacceptable here. A few names 
yet survive, and are enrolled in the present year 
with full 500 additional ones. The Foreign Mem- 
bers, originally about 50, are still limited to that 
number. 
With most of the Fellows and Foreign Members 
here enumerated, a correspondence, founded on the 
President’s personal acquaintance on the continent, 
had begun, or continued from the time of the esta- 
blishment of the Linnzan Society, increasing year 
by year, as the boundaries of science extended; and 
their letters bear testimony to the liberality of the 
possessor of the treasures of the great master of 
natural science.
