BOTANICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. 



Monday, November 29th, 1847. — Eleventh anniversary meeting. 

 John Reynolds, Esq., Treasurer, in the chair. 



Donations of British plants were announced from the Rev. G. W. 

 Sandys, Mr. J. D. Salmon, Mr. John Ray, and Mr. French. 



The Secretary read the annual report of the council, from which it 

 appeared that thirty-two members had been elected since the last anni- 

 versary, being a larger number than had been elected in any previous 

 year since the establishment of the Society. In order to carry out to its 

 fullest extent the leading object of the Society, namely, the exchange 

 of specimens, the herbarium-committee had used every exertion to 

 obtain the rarer and more interesting plants, and numerous valuable 

 specimens (including a large number of duplicates) had been received, 

 and would shortly be distributed to the members. The council had 

 deputed Mr. Hewett Watson and the Secretary to prepare a second 

 edition of the ' London Catalogue of British Plants.' The report was 

 unanimously adopted. A ballot then took place for the council for the 

 ensuing year, when J. E. Gray, Esq., F.R.S., was re-elected President, 

 and John Miers, Esq., F.R.S., and E. Doubleday, Esq., F.L.S., were 

 nominated Vice-Presidents; J. Coppin, Esq., M.A., G. W. Francis, 

 Esq., F.L.S., and J. Parking, M.D., were elected new members of the 

 council in the room of Dr. Cooke, F.L.S., F. Barham, Esq., and J. M. 

 Rich, Esq., who retire in rotation ; Mr. J. Reynolds, Mr. G. E. 

 Dennes, and Mr. G. Rich, were respectively re-elected, Treasurer, 

 Secretary, and Librarian. — G. E. D.
