THE LINNEAN SOCIETY OF LONDON desires to present its congratulations to 

 the Royal Society of London on the celebration of the two hundred and 

 fiftieth Anniversary of its foundation, on the completion of a period which 

 has witnessed so vast a development of the Sciences, and on the noble part 

 which the Society itself has borne in this boundless ' Improvement of Natural 

 Knowledge \ The Linnean Society rejoices to recall, not only the many who 

 have been and are on the Rolls of both Societies, thereby constituting links 

 between the two, but also that Sir Joseph Banks, who took a large part in the 

 foundation of the Linnean Society, presided for forty- one years over the Royal 

 Society, and that the great Swedish naturalist whose name is borne by the 

 Linnean Society, was also a Foreign Member of the Royal Society. 



Given under the Common Seal of the Society this Twentieth day of 

 June, 1912.
