ings of his contemporaries." 
Mr. Russel gave a brief description of the personality of Linnaeus, 
followed by a biography considering the more important epochs in 
his life, with his achievements during each. At the close he pointed

place as the basis of all present systematic botany and zoology.

Meeting of the combined Sections. 
President Teller in the chair and about fifty persons present, 
Mr. Colles spoke on "The Origin and Deposition of the Principal 
Ores of Copper and its Extraction." 
The speaker described the most important ores of copper, and 
classified them according to their chemical constitution. He described 
the manner in which ores are deposited, more particularly their rela- 
tion to watery solutions, their geographical distributions and abund- 
ance. He also described the methods of extracting the metal from 
several of the more important types of ores. After he had finished, 
several of the members joined in a short discussion on certain points. 
Mr. Brues then exhibited a series of plants collected by the 
Museum expedition into northern Wisconsin during the past summer. 
He also showed a number of lantern slides illustrating the general 
aspect of the localities examined by the expedition. 
The meeting then adjourned.
