During the past year ending November 30th, 1864, there have been 

 elected 3 Resident and 10 Corresponding Members. The Society now 

 numbers 71 Resident and 84 Corresponding Members. 



The department of Insect Architecture is as yet in its infancy. The 

 additions made thereto have not been as large as was expected; but 

 there is no doubt that when once the utility of said department has 

 been impressed upon the minds of the members, they will be stimulated 

 to render increased aid thereto, and make it as efficient as the other 

 departments. 



Before closing my Report, I would again refer to the valuable aid 

 rendered by Dr. Wilson, through whose liberality several large cases 

 have been added to the Cabinet, thereby meeting the wants of the 

 various Committees, enabling them to arrange the specimens on the 

 most approved plans. 



All of which is respectfully submitted. 



J. Frank Knight, 



Recording Secretary. 



The Annual Reports of the Corresponding Secretary, Treasurer, and 

 Standing Committees on Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera, Dip- 

 tera, Neuroptera and Orthoptera, Hemiptera and Aptera, Library, 

 Publication, Collecting Fund, and Insect Architecture, were read.
