Abstract

WE learn from the Lancet that the late Prof. Pouchet, of the Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle, has bequeathed his entire fortune to the Paris Society of Biology. The bequest is made in the following terms: “N'ayant pas de famille, je lègue tout ce que je possède à la Sociátá de Biologie, où j'ai toujours trouvá ebon accueil et sympathie depuis le jour où j'en ai été membre. Je crois fermement que c'est le meilleur usage social à faire du peu de bien que je laisse environ 2000 francs de rente.”(£80 a year).
