 September I5th 1912 : 



" In the afternoon, there were two sectional meetings the clashing 

 of which was somewhat unfortunate. At that on " Nomenclature ", 

 Prof. Poulton was presiding, the Vice-Président being Dr. Kertész, 

 and Dr. Jordan acting as Secretary. The Resolution of the Ento- 

 mological Society of London was introduced by Mr. Bethune- 

 Baker, and supported by the Rev. G. Wheeler in a paper of 

 " Suggestions for securing simflification and permanency in 

 Nomenclature ". Mons. Oberthûr followed with a paper (not 

 read, however, but most eloquently delivered without MS) on the 

 absence of a good figure invalidating a name, and the Rev. K. St. A. 

 Rogers read Mr. Prout's paper on " The -place of figures in Des- 

 criptive Entomology ". On the proposai of Dr. Howard, seconded 

 by Dr. Skinner, the Resolution of the Entomological Society was 

 referred for considération, and report at the General Meeting on 

 Friday, to the Executive Committee of the Congress. 



Over the other section, " Morphology and Anatomy ", Prof. 

 Calvert presided, with Prof. Meijere as Vice-Président and 

 Mr. R. S. Bagnall as Secretary; hère Dr. Dixey gave a paper on 

 " Scent-organs in the Lepidoptera ", Prof. Carpenter on " The 

 présence of Maxillulœ in Beetle Larvœ ", Dr. Hovrath on the 

 " Construction of tJte Elytra of the Cicadides " and Fr. Navas, 

 S. T. on " Some Organs of the zvings of Insects ", the last paper, 

 we hear, was illustrated, not only by the Lecturer, and an amicable 

 contest took place on the black board, which ended in Fr. Navas 

 being master of the field, owing to the collapse of the other 

 draughtsman's chalk ! "
