Entomologists, and presented by Professors Calvert, Forbes, 

 and OsBORN, and cordially endorsed by Prof. Kellogg, for the 

 Pacific Coast Entomological Society, and Dr. Gordon Hewitt, 

 for the Entomological Society of Ontario. The invitations are 

 couched in such kind terms, and the prospect of the Third Con- 

 gress of Entomology being held in the United States is so alluring, 

 that the Executive Committee has had some serious diiïiculty 

 in coming to a decision as to which place it should recommend 

 to-day for the meeting of the next Congress. After consultation 

 with the American colleagues and various other members of the 

 Congress the Executive Committee has arrived at the opinion 

 that this young association should meet at least once more in 

 Europe before going to the United States. It is now for this 

 meeting to decide which country and town in Europe would be 

 the most suitable for the Third Congress. As the first two Con- 

 gresses were held in Western Europe, it appears advisable to 

 meet for the third time in a country of Central Europe, and for 

 various reasons Vienna recommends itself as a most suitable 

 place. The Executive Committee therefore proposes Vienna as 

 the place of meeting of the Third International Congress of 

 Entomology, to be held in 1915, with CusTOS Anton Handlirsch 

 as President. [Carried by acclamation.] 



A. Handlirsch dankt dem Kongresse im Namen der oester- 

 reichischen Entomologen für das grosse Vertrauen, welches 

 ihnen durch die Wahl Wiens als Ort für den nächsten Kongress 

 bewiesen ist. 



The President then gave his farewell address, as follows : 

 Ladies and Gentlemen : Our principal and most pleasant 

 duty, on this last formal meeting of the second International 

 Entomological Congress, is to thank those who have so kindly 

 helped us to make the meeting a success. 



We have to thank the Delegates of the Oxford University 

 Museum for the use of this lecture-room and the central court of
