John Lord Farnham. 
Charles Holford, Esq. 
Lawrence Brock HolUnshead, Esq. 
John Hull, M.D. — Dr. Hull was ardently attached to the study of 
Botany, and in the midst of an extensive medical practice, he found 
occasional moments of leisure to devote to the cultivation of his 
favourite pursuit. We are indebted to him for the publication of a 
British Flora in 1799, of which a second edition appeared in 1808 ; 
and the Elements of Botany, in '2 volumes, 8vo, in 1800. These 
works, highly creditable to their author, tended to increase the taste 
for botanical pursuits. 
Matthew Martin^ Esq. — Mr, Martin reached the advanced age of 
90. He became a Fellow of this Society in 1791. 
George Milne, Esq. — Mr. Milne pursued with much ardour the 
study of Entomology for more than half a century, and his name is 
familiar to the cultivators of that branch of science in this country. 
He possessed an extensive cabinet of insects, particularly rich in Bri- 
tish and Exotic Lepidoptera. Fie had retired from London for several 
years to his native place Johnshaven, Kincardineshire, where he died 
some months ago at an advanced age. 
The Rev. Robert Nixon, B.D., F.R.S. 
William Younge, M.D. — Dr. Younge was the early friend and a 
fellow student of our late distinguished President and Founder Sir 
J. E. Smith, and the companion of his tour on the continent in the 
years 1786 and 1787, of which an account appeared in three volumes 
8vo, in 1793, and a second edition in 1807. Dr. Younge was elected 
a fellow of this Society at its first institution in March 1788. 
Amongst the Foreign Members occur M. Frederic Cuvier, Mem- 
ber of the Academy of Sciences of the French Institute, the younger 
brother of the great Cuvier, and eminently distinguished as a system- 
atic zoologist. He was the author of a work on the value of the 
teeth as affording zoological characters in the class mammalia, and 
of a number of valuable papers on Descriptive Zoology in the An- 
nales et Memoires du Museum. He likewise v/rote the principal 
part of the text to the Histoire Naturelle des Mammiferes, a work 
which he had undertaken in conjunction with Geoffroy St. Hilaire. 
Among his last productions may be noticed his Memoire sur les Ger- 
boises et les Gerbilles, printed in the second volume of the Transac- 
tions of the Zoological Society of London. Fie was distinguished, 
like his brother, for his candour and frankness of character, and a total 
freedom from those petty jealousies which too often beset men of 
science.
