Charles BERTRAND-GESLIN (1796-1863), geologist and naturalist, co-founder of the Natural History Society of Paris and the Geological Society of France. L.A.S. to Charles Des Moulins, 3 pp. in-8. Nantes, December 20, 1855. Address on the back with stamps. Relating to the attack of vines by a parasite. "From the last book of acts, of June 20, 1855, I see that many of your members are busy studying the oidium of your vines. Unfortunately, no one has yet found a very effective remedy. Here we use sulphur flower, but it is mainly the vines that are attacked, our vineyards are generally free of it, until now. Although you have abandoned paleontology and your echinoids for botany, I like to think that you are not insensitive to the progress that paleontology has made in the last few years. He suggests to him to organize a congress of the Geological Society of France in Bordeaux, "because it is inconceivable that a meeting has not yet taken place in the south of France. Your department is more suitable than any other to offer to the society very interesting courses. Moreover, you have in Bordeaux and its surroundings many naturalists and amateurs who would come to take part in the meetings and the races, we could not have a better guide than you in the excursions [] ".
