The Honorary Curator reports : — 



" During the past year the Society's Collections have been 

 greally augmented by the incorporation of further portions of the 

 late Mr. Ashdown's bequest, and also by the very generous gifts of 

 our member Mr. Stanley Kemp, who is in India. Mr. Kemp's British 

 Odonata make the Society's almost a complete series, as we now 

 possess 36 out of the 39 species described by Mr. Lucas in his book. 

 Mr. Ashdown's Collection of the British Coccinellidae is now in the 

 Society's cabinet, and available for reference and study. Donations 

 of specimens have also been received from Messrs. Blenkarn, Bow- 

 man, and Grosvenor." 



The Hon. Librarian reports : — 



" The Library has been very freely used during the past year 

 both by borrowers and for reference on meeting nights, and there 

 has also been a very good demand for back numbers of the Society's 

 Proceedings. The volumes bequeathed by the late Mr. Ashdown 

 will soon be available." 



Field Meetings were held at Oxshott, Eastbourne (a whole day 

 outing, when Mr. E. Adkin conducted and entertained the party at 

 his house at Meads), and Chalfont Road (when Mr. T. W. Hall 

 entertained the party to tea at his house at Chorley Wood). No 

 Fungus Foray was held owing to the unusual dryness of the 

 autuuin. 



Messrs. Stanley Edwards and Hy. J. Turner were your Delegates 

 at the Congress of the S.E. Union of Scientific Societies held at 

 Reading in June, and Mr. R. Adkin was your Delegate at the meet- 

 ing of the Representatives of the Corresponding Societies of the 

 British Association, held at Edinburgh in September.
