  <dc:title>Letter from [Dukinfield Henry] Scott, Arthur Dendy, and [Benjamin] Daydon Jackson, Linnean Society of London, Burlington House, Piccadilly, London, to the Royal Society</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Discusses the upcoming 50th Anniversary of the joint essay by Charles Robert Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace, titled "On the Tendency of Species to form Varieties; and on the Perpetuation of Varieties and Species by Natural Means of Selection." The Linnean Society plans to celebrate the occasion with a formal event. The proposed activities include an afternoon meeting with addresses by eminent biologists, the presentation of a special medal called the Darwin-Wallace Medal, an evening reception, and the publication of a volume documenting the memorable meeting of 1 July 1858, and the Jubilee proceedings. Suggests that the Royal Society nominates a representative to attend the event.</dc:description>
