Abstract
THE rise and mutual development in Great Britain of provincial natural history and literary societies, microscopical clubs and field clubs isone of the stories of nineteenth century science that scarcely requires iteration. Yet in regard to one of these, the Midland Union of Natural History Societies, an amalgamation of 1878, due in the main to the efforts of Mr. Lawson Tait, F.R.C.S., of Birmingham, there is a connexion of Darwinian interest in the Union's institution of a Darwin Medal, which incourse of time has lapsed in award, and possibly is now altogether out of mind.
