The library has been laro;ely augmented during the year, and is now the nucleus of a 

 very fair cnllection of entomological books. 



The property of the Society is insured for l^SoO. 



Arrangements have been made for the continuation of our Annual Reports, to be pub- 

 lished as hitherto under the direction of the Department of Agriculture. If succe.ssful in 

 obtaining the increased grant that we are now applying for. it is contemplated to issue with 

 the Reports a coloured plate of insects, believing that by this means we shall be able to 

 present to the public a much more definite and correct idea of the various insects treated of. 



All of which is respectfully submitted.
