Mr. A. E. Norris has kindly ottered us room in his place of business to locate there our 

 cabinet and collection. We must all offer to this gentlemen our sincere thanks for the kind 

 assistance he has given us in this way. 



Through the generous contribution of several of our members, our collection now amounts 

 to probably 5G0 or 600 species which practically fill up the dozen drawers we bought at the 

 beginning of the year. 



An innovation introduced this year was the filing of all papers read at our meetings so to 

 be accessible for future reference. 



The report of the Treasurer will now be submitted to you, and also that of our Curator 

 and Librarian who will give you many details as to the exact condition of our collection of 

 insects.
