 said, the new Society had at first met with some opposition on the part of 

 those who failed to see the advantages to be derived from it. But only 

 by trying can we hope to ascertain its possibilities for good. He believed

 entomology, and felt that the number who had enrolled as members, now 

 over 400, and the eagerness with which membership had been sought, 

 Avas a very convincing proof of the demand for the organization He

 continuance.
