NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS. 



The Annual Verrall Supper at the Holborn Restaurant was no 

 less a success this year than is usual. The record was reached in 

 1914 with a total of just over the century; but on January 19th, 

 1915, this was run very close by the " ninety-and-nine " who sat down 

 to an ample supper, after much enjoyable chat upon the entomo- 

 logical exploits of the past year. All, or nearly all, the familiar faces 

 were present ; the main exceptions were the brothers Waterhouse, 

 Mr. E. A. Newbery who had accepted, and the very few who have 

 passed away in the interim, such as Rev. E. N. Bloomfield. These 

 were, however, replaced by many new faces, prominent among which 

 were Prof. J. W. Carr, of Nottingham, and Mr. Bruce Cumings, 

 of the British Museum. Several of those present were in khaki, and 

 our Allies were represented by at least one Japanese gentleman, as 

 the chairman remarked in a most particularly happy speech, con- 

 cluded by those present drinking in silence to the memory of Mr. 

 Verrall— C. M.
