TKOCEEDINGS OF THE THIUD E.NTOMOLOC.IC AT, MEETING 1095 



yoii require to consult collections and records, the next Meeting will 

 probably be at Pusa in the beginning of February 1921. 



It has given me very great pleasure to have seen so many people 

 here attending this Meeting. We have got through a good deal of 

 hard work together and I hope that the visitors have enjoyed their 

 stay here. Many have come from great distances, not without incon- 

 venience to themselves. We thank them for the share they have taken 

 in making this Meeting a success. I shall look forward to the next 

 Meeting, when we hope to have a larger gathering still. 



I am voicing the opinion of all jn-esent and also of those who have Mr. Beeson, 

 come and gone when I say how much we are indebted to Mr. Fletcher 

 and in expressing our opinion that such Meetings are productive of 

 various new ideas, as we get to know what other workers are doino ♦ 



and what is left undone. We shall go away in a state of mental exhila- 

 ration. At this Meeting, considerable importance has been given to 

 subjects beyond merely Economic Entomology, such as methods of 

 breeding, etc. One of the main advantages of centralizing Entomology 

 would be the privilege of collaborating. We are alive to the tremendous 

 amomit of work entailed in the preparation of these Meetings. On 

 behalf of the Meeting I propose a vote of sincere thaioks to Mr. Fletcher. 



I should like to second this vote of thanks with verj' great plea.sure. Mr.Andrews. 

 I have had the privilege of attending all three of these Meetings. The 

 first was a success, the second was a greater success, and the third has 

 been a greater success sfill. These conference's are an indication of 

 what might be attained by centralization. I thinlv that the increasing 

 success of these conferences shows what centralization can do. I thank- 

 Mr. Fletcher very cordially for the trouble he has taken in making this 

 Meeting a success and in giving us all so much hel]i. 



I should like to thank Mr. Fletcher not only for help in the Meeting Mr. Ramakrishna 

 but also for various kinds of help during our stay here. Ayyar. 



In addition I beg to thank Mr. Fletcher for helping us in the identi- Mr. Senior-White,. 

 fication of our specimens. And we also owe thanks to the Heads of 

 the other Sections at Pusa for their kindness in giving us the opportunitv 

 of seeing something of the work of their Sections. 



I wish to thank Mr. Fletcher and the British Government for giving Captain de Mello. 

 me the opportunity of coming to attend this Meeting. 



On behalf of the Indian States we join with the others in thanking Mr. Kunhi 

 Mr. Fletcher for the help he has given us. Although we have not been Kannan. 

 able to contribute much, yet we have learnt a great deal. I hope that 

 the practice of inviting us will be continued.
