The Linnéan Society of London is the world's oldest organization devoted to the study and promotion of natural history, specifically the biological sciences of botany and zoology, with all their subdivisions and in all their aspects.
The bicentennial of the Society is a notable event for all the world's professional biologists and amateur natural historians, many of whom are members or fellows of the Society.
The Linnéan Society provided British biologists with their main forum of communication until 1826, when the Zoological Society of London was founded, an event that set the precedent for the formation of other specialized biological societies.

 1806 - London - Entomological Society of London - History of Scholarly Societies
According to Neave (1933), pp.1-2, the Entomological Society of London was formed in 1806 as the successor to a series of brief-lived entomological societies based in London dating back to 1745.
Neave (1933), p.1 indicates that the first entomolobical society in the world was evidently the Aurelian Society of London, which was already in existence in 1745.
Neave (1933), p.5 notes that in 1824, most of the members of the two latter societies joined with various members of the Linnean Society of London to found the Zoological Club of the Linnean Society of London, which later became the Zoological Society of London.

 Palaeos Systematics: The Linnean System
Here of course we have again the fact of the arbitrary nature of the Linnean ranking, as it could be argued either position is valid.
It is clear that this is taking things to excess, but part of the problem here is misguided attempt to combine the Linnean system with it's rival the Cladistic arrangement; this being impractical if not impossible due to the incompatibility between the two
Nowadays the Linnean system is increasing losing ground to the non-hierarchical cladistic system of nested branches.
