which county seems to have become quite an emporium for 

 entomological rarities. — G. B. C. 



[I am much obliged to Mr. Corbin for these enquiries. I 

 cannot believe in the Kentish captures of these two species, 

 in this respect differing from ray lamented friend Henry 

 Doubleday, who was so honest and truthful in all his state- 

 ments that he was ever willing to credit those of others. 

 When I penned the paragraph to which Mr. Corbin alludes, 

 I certainly intended to figure Argynnis Niobe as British ; but 

 the specimen in my possession on further information proved 

 so questionable that I postponed the drawing and engraving 

 sine die. I have received records of the capture of twenty-six 

 specimens of Daplidice and a round dozen of Podalirins, 

 which 1 suppress for the same reason. — Edivard NewmanJ]

November 3, 1875. 



Sir Sidney Smith Saunders, C.M.G., President, in the 

 chair. 



This being the first meeting of the Session, the President 

 read the following address: — 



Gentlemen, — On the opening of our new Meeting Room 

 and Library, at the commencement of the present Session, it 

 may be fitting to inaugurate our reunion and installation here 

 by a few introductory remarks. Your Council has long been 

 conscious of the many inconveniences experienced from the 

 former inaccessible position of our Library at Bedford Row 

 and its disconnection with our Meeting Room, conceded to 

 us by favour of the Linnean Society at Burlington House. 

 The numerous additions, moreover, to our bibliographical 

 collection having superadded want of space to other exigen- 

 cies, it has been deemed expedient to provide for these 

 requirements in combination with some other Society capable 

 of affording us adequate accommodation. By the unremitting 

 exertions of our Secretary, Mr. Grut, this has finally been 

 accomplished ; and although the advantages of bringing our 

 Library and Meeting Room into juxtaposition in a more 

 central site must necessarily involve a certain increase in our 

 annual expenditure, it may not unreasonably be anticipated
