Linnean Society of London
The Linnean Society of London is the world's premier society for the study and dissemination of taxonomy. It publishes a Zoological Journal, as well as Botanical and Biological Journals. It also issues The Linnean, a review of the history of the society and of taxonomy in general. The Linnean Society was founded in 1788, taking its name from the Swedish naturalist Carolus Linnaeus. The Society is based at Burlington House, Piccadilly, London. Membership is open to anyone who is interested in the Society's work, and interested individuals may join as Student members, Associate members or (most often) as full Fellows. All forms of membership require nomination by at least two Fellows and are subject to election. Fellows use the designation FLS after their names.
