HISTORY OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF NEW SOUTH WALES. Ae, 
the new Society, It is historically correct for our Society 
to trace lineal descent from the 1850 Society. 
I have pointed out that the birthday of the Philosophical 
Society of New South Wales is 30th July, 1855, and the 
date 1856 in the notice should be struck out.
