Has anyone found the home page of the Bioligical Society of Washington? I've been looking, but can't find it.
Apparantly it's an offshoot of the Philosophical Society of Washington
"The Anthropological Society was organized in 1879, the Biological Society in 1880, and the Chemical Society in 1884."
More info on the society can be found here:
" The Biological Society of Washington was founded on December 3, 1880. Its original purpose was the furtherance of biological scholarship by providing a forum for the presentation of scientific papers. Later modifications limited the purpose to the furtherance of taxonomic study and the diffusion of taxonomic knowledge, mainly through the publication of the Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington. It was also one of the eight founding organizations of the Washington Academy of Sciences."
There are 200+ papers cited here:
