Botanical Society of London. 



Monday, November 29, 1852. {Sixteenth Anniversary Meeting). 

 — Dr. John Edward Gray, F.R.S., President, in the chair. 



Mr. G. E. Dennes, the Secretary, read the Report of the Council; 

 from which it appeared that 14 new members had been elected since 

 the last Anniversary Meeting, and that the Society now consisted of 

 302 members. Many thousands of specimens of British and foreign 

 plants had been distributed to members, and numerous continental 

 botanists ; and increased exertions had been made, this year, to ren- 

 der this important department of the Society's operations more effici- 

 ent ; and, already, numerous valuable specimens had been received for 

 distribution to the members early in the ensuing year. The Report 

 was unanimously adopted. A ballot then took place for the President 

 and Council for the ensuing year, when the President was re-elected ; 

 and he nominated John Miers, Esq., F.R.S., and Arthur Henfrey, 

 Esq., F.R.S., Vice-Presidents.
