The Entomological Society of France, at its meeting, March iith, 

 elected George H. Horn, M. D., Philadelphia, an honorary member, on 

 account of his writings and scientific attainments in Entomology. This 

 is a very great compliment, when it is considered that the Constitution of 

 this Society — one of the most learned in Europe — limits the number of its 

 honorary members to twelve, six native and six foreign.
