    APPENDIX. It may interest the Fellows to see a copy of tlie form of nomination in use at the end of last century when Edward Jenner was elected Corresponding Fellow. This has been placed in my hands by Mr. Vise, of Spalding, to whose great-grandfather the letter was addressed. The Latin form is printed, and the translation accompanying it is in the handwriting of William Chamberlain, of obstetric fame. My friend, Mr. Christopher Vise, of Spalding, repre- sents the sixth generation of the family in practice in or near that town.
