feared that his motion made on Monday, to refer to the Executive 

 Committee the report of the Entomological Society, had been 

 taken amiss by the members of the London Society, and as 

 indicating some opposition to the action of that body. He assured 

 the Congress that he had the highest respect for the Society, and 

 thoroughly commended its action. His motion on Monday he 

 considered simply a matter of proper Parliamentary procedure. 



F. D. MoRiCE, as President of the Entomological Society of 

 London, and for other members of the Society present at the 

 Congress, wished to assure Dr. Howard that they had not re- 

 garded his amendment as at all antagonistic to their own motion, 

 but rather (as he believed) an improvement on it. 



G. T. Bethune-Baker expressed the view that the Resolu- 

 tions of the Congress entirely met the motion of the Entomo- 

 logical Society of London. He expressed his satisfaction and 

 gratitude for the way in which the Executive Committee had 

 acceded to their desire. He also thanked Dr. Howard for 

 his words in explanation of his amendment, and the President 

 of the London Society for withdrawing the criticism he had 

 made in another place. 



H. Skinner said he had seconded Dr. Howard's Resolution, 

 as he thought it would avoid misunderstanding The unanimous 

 action on the Resolutions in re nomenclature showed the wisfdom 

 of this action. 



G. Wheeler said that Mr. Bethune-Baker had expressed 

 already what he would have wished to say. The point which 

 seemed to him most important, viz. that the National Committees 

 should be appointed by the entomologists of the difíerent coun- 

 tries, had been carried unanimously, and speaking for himself 

 he was absolutely satisfied, and was sure that the Entomological 

 Society of London would be also. 



C. Gordon Hewitt asked what would be the action of the 

 International Entomological Committee of Nomenclature in the 

 case of a disagreement with a finding of the International Com- 

 mission of Zoological Nomenclature. 



K. Jordan, in answer, said that the Committee would try to 

 carry the point if the matter was of importance for Entomology. 

 However, only those findings were brought before the Zoological 

 Congresses on which the vote of the Commission was unanimous.
