any and Zoology. The Society which has adopted his name for its own is 
the most important Natural History Society on the Continent south of the 
United States, and adds to the Pan—American feeling which hails Franklin 
as a great Western Continent patriot, also enthusiasm for the great obs- 
erver and master of research. Along with my two colleagues, members 
of this Society, 1 am desired to express the satisfaction of the Society * “An- 
tonio Alzate” at having been honored by the American Phiosophical Soci- 
ety with an invitation to participate in these ceremonies; and to express 
to its older sister Society the feelings of warm cordiality an friendship 
with which that invitation was received. The “Antonio Alzate” has invi- 
ted and published in its Memorias y Revista communications from Scien- 
tific men of all nations, and especially from the United States. These val- 
uable contributions to science have been printed, each in the lenguage of 
its author, and the closest sympathy and fellowship have been exhibited 
by 1t througth its eminent permanent Secretary Señor Rafael Aguilar for 
the many eminent scientific member of the American Philosophical Society. 
It request us, its delegates, to express to the latter its warm cooperation in 
the spirit of this bi-centenary.
