Note. — I have heard from my friend Mr. Ernest E. Austen 

 that Mr. A. Piffard collected some good things in this order at 

 Felixstowe during August, 1896, but I had no time, before 

 sending in these notes, either to write to Mr. Piffard or examine 

 the specimens taken.

preamble. 



Whereas an Entomological Club established in London in the year 

 1826 for the purpose of social meetings at the residences of its members 

 for the communication of facts, the comparison of notes, the naming 

 of specimens, and mutual improvement in the science of Entomology 

 has existed and met from time to time ; and whereas the Code of Laws 

 adopted in 1836 has continued with very slight alterations until the 

 present time ; and whereas that Code of Laws has become antiquated : 

 It is Besolved and Agreed, that all former Bules and Begulations 

 shall cease and determine, and the following be adopted as the Laws 

 of the Club.
