A letter was read from a gentleman desiring to view the collection of 

 the Society. After an interchange of views the Chair announced that 

 it was the sense of the Section that while they desired to aid the devel- 

 opment of an interest in the study of Entomology, the collections in 

 charge of the Section could not be used unless under the supervision of 

 the Conservator. 



Dr. Horn exhibited some dissections of the mouth parts of Coleoptera, 

 mounted in such a manner that they could be placed in the cabinet with 

 the specimens from which they were taken. The method, he believed,, 

 originated with Dr. Sharp, of Scotland, and consists of a cell made of 

 cardboard, the top and bottom being the usual thin cover-glass and filled 

 in the ordinary way with Canada balsam. When properly dried the 

 name of the species may be written on the card, and the whole (except 

 the glass) coated with shellac and thus rendered impervious to mois- 

 ture.

 Society were announced : —
