each work catalogued. Anyone might subscribe to all of the 

 catalog, or to any section of it, and the writer desires to express 

 here his gratitude as he did to Dr. Field in person for the 

 great saving of time and aid in research which his subscription 

 to the card catalog afforded. 



Unfortunately the financial difficulties of the undertaking, 

 begun in 1895, were great. Dr. Field sacrificed all of his pri- 

 vate means in its maintenance. The issuance of the cards 

 ceased in 1918. About a year ago, Dr. Field was in the United 

 States seeking support for the Concilium and various zoological 

 societies warmly endorsed his attempt. The collection of funds 

 was not easy, although money was secured to permit resuming 

 work for the year, pending the development of plans for per- 

 manent support which appeared in sight. It is cheering to 

 know that his death will not halt the development of the Con- 

 cilium, but it is a source of regret that he could not have lived 

 to see the re-establishment of his most helpful and worthy 

 project.

ENTOMOLOGICAL GLEANINGS FROM ALL QUARTERS 

 OF THE GLOBE 



The Entomological Society of London Appeals For Aid. 



The fine old Entomological Society of London, founded in 1834, and 

 which since 1875 has been meeting at 11 Chandos Street by the cour- 

 tesy of the Medical Society of London, has, through the growth of its 

 library, outgrown its quarters and is practically forced to move. It has 

 bought a house at 41 Queen's Gate, South Kensington, near the Natural 

 History Museum, and is leasing a portion of the building to the Imperial 

 Bureau of Entomology. The cost price of the property was ten thou- 

 sand pounds, and an additional sum is required for furnishing. 



The co?t price has been largely met' by subscription from members, 

 both as donations and as loans, the loans being secured by a debenture 

 on the property and bearing, five per cent, interest. After exhausting 

 all the available resources of the resident members, there still remains 

 a sum approximating fifteen hundred pounds, and the Society is making 

 an appeal to foreign members, to entomologists in the dominions, and 

 to interested entomologists in other parts of the world. Donations 

 and loans are received by the Treasurer of the Society, Mr. W. G 

 Sheldon, who may be addressed at 1 1 Chandos Street, Cavendish Square, 

 London, W. I.
