BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF BRITISH AND IRISH BOTANISTS. 218 



Hooker, in responding, said the reception of the medal had given 

 him a gratification of a peculiar kind, which no other Society 

 could have afforded, inasmuch as his father, grandfather, father-in- 

 law, and uncle had been Fellows ; he had personally known eight of 

 its Presidents, and many of his own papers had owed their publica- 

 tion to the Society. Moreover, it was Sir J. E. Smith, the founder, 

 who had induced his father to take up the study of botany. He 

 was grateful also to the memory of Linnaeus for his own early 

 studies in botany, which were made with a pin and flowers, making 

 out their parts and names according to the Linnean system ; and 

 that he believed to be the most valuable way of beginning. Sir 

 John Lubbock proposed " The Health of the President, Officers, 

 and Council of the Society," to which Mr. Crisp, the Treasurer, 

 replied, and the proceedings closed. 



On the following evening, Friday, the 25th May, a Conversa- 

 zione was given by the President and Council, in the rooms of 

 the Society. The Linnean collections were on view, a suitable 

 descriptive catalogue of these having been prepared by Mr. Daydon 

 Jackson ; and a large and distinguished company accepted the 

 invitation of the Council. The whole of the arrangements for the 

 Centenary were most efficiently carried out, and reflect great credit 

 upon the Secretaries, and especially upon Mr. J. E. Harting, the 

 Librarian to the Society.
