Note by the Secretary. 

 Mr. Swayne sent to the Meeting of the Society on the 1st 

 of October, specimens of the Pears alluded to in the fore- 

 going communication. They were unusually large, and very 

 handsome. The cross impregnation had not produced any 

 change in the appearance of the fruit, nor was any difference 

 in flavour discovered.
