and progress of the Society, and congratulated the members on its success, 

 the general good attendance, and the very numerous and valuable specimens 

 exbibited during the year. He then pointed out the difference between a mere 

 collector and an Entomologist, urging the one to seek a genuine claim to the 

 title of Naturalist, and encouraging the other to increase his knowledge by the 

 study of books, and more especially by the study of Nature herself. He 

 pointed out the absolute necessity of making the Classification of Insects a 

 study; and, in conclusion, admirably pointed out the evils of bargaining between 

 brother-collectors. "Give," said he, "as liberally as you can; give to all who 

 desire to receive for the purpose of properly using your gifts. There is no 

 higher gratification that you can derive from your collections than thus giving. 

 But avoid at all times the trading spirit which has taken possession of so 

 many Entomologists. Never consider what and how much you are to receive 

 in exchange. Set not insect against insect. Calculate not that one specimen 

 of some species is worth two of some other, or those of a third. You may 

 be sure that the liberal giver will always be the plentiful receiver. Consider 

 only how you may confer pleasure upon your friend, and he will assuredly 

 try to give similar pleasure to you." The President concluded his address by 

 thanking the members for the confidence they shewed in him by re-electing 

 him as President.
