Abstract
AT the anniversary meeting of the Linnean Society held on May 24, Mr. A. D. Cotton, keeper of the Herbarium in the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, was elected president in succession to Dr. E. S. Russell. Dr. Russell addressed the meeting on “The Stereotypy of Instinctive Behaviour”. In a review of the activities of the Society, the retiring President directed attention to the revision of the by-laws, just completed ; to concession in the amount to be paid by fellows of sixty-five and more who wish to compound ; to the fruitful work of the Crustacea Committee and the Marine Algæ Committee ; to grants-in-aid towards the cost of publication ; to work done by a sub-committee appointed to prepare a plan for rearranging the Library ; to the great need for more shelving for the books ; to the gratifying progress made towards completing a photographic record of the Linnean collections and manuscripts ; and to the Society's excellent relations with other societies and scientific bodies.
