Abstract

WE may remind our readers that on this day, a century ago, one of the great reformers of science-perhaps the most celebrated naturalist of all times—Linné, breathed his last. His name is too familiar to our readers to necessitate any biographical remarks on our part. His countrymen will doubtless commemorate the day in a fitting manner, and the sanctum at Upsala University, Linné's room, which is still preserved in its original state, will, we are sure, be visited by many a scientific pilgrim.
