Society, for the kind way in which they have treated me during my 

 two years as President, and especially Mr. H. J. Turner, my co- 

 secretary, who has helped me on many occasions. In your choice 

 of my successor, Mr. K. G. Blair, you have chosen a Coleopterist 

 who is well knoAvn, and I believe he is the first Coleopterist-President 

 in the annals of the Society. I am sure the Society will prosper 

 under his Qfuidance.
