The members of the Council and Fellows of the Entomological 

 Society, who had accepted Professor E. B. Poulton's kind in- 

 vitation to visit Oxford, assembled in the Hope Department of

 afternoon spent in inspecting the collections, now in process 

 of rearrangement, an adjournment was made to Jesus College, 

 where Professor Poulton entertained the following members of 

 the University and Fellows of the Society : the Vice-Ghancellor, 

 Mr. D. B. Monro, Provost of Oriel ; Mr. A. B. Poynton, Senior 

 Proctor ; Mr. A. J. Evans, Keeper of the Ashmolean Museum ; 

 Professor Dixey, Dr. David Sharp, Mr. E. McLachlan, Pro-

 K. Donisthorpe, Mr. Guy Marshall, and Mr. H. Eowland-Brown. 

 "While of the uninvited but appropriate (!) guests who put in an 

 appearance was the rare Reduvius personatus, Linn., taken by 

 Professor Poulton on the college wall, crawling up toward the 

 electric light. On Sunday tea was served in one of the meadows

 were perhaps the commonest and most admired. Later in the
