lapse, induced the Rev. F. D. Morice (President of the Entomological 

 Society) and other entomologists to take up the matter, and with the 

 hearty co-operation of Mr. J. E. Collin, invitations were sent out to

 It is evident that an annual social meeting of this character is 

 much appreciated by entomologists generally, and we hope that it 

 will not be allowed to drop. Possibly it may be continued in the 

 future more directly under the auspices of the Entomological Club. 

 At any rate, we must commend heartily the action of the President 

 of the Entomological Society, the Rev. F. D. Morice, for his suggestion 

 of a method, whereby the meeting was able to be held on this occasion, 

 and we must also thank those gentlemen who so ably supported him 

 in his action.
