; First International Congress of Entomology, held in Brussels on August Ist- 
1910, was an unqualified success. It was well supported by Entomologists of all 
es, both theoretical and practical, and also by many Governments and institutions, 
‚are at last beginning to realise the profound importance of this science in Me- 
and in Agriculture. 
The Membership was nearly 400, and upwards of 300 actually attended the pro- 
gs. 
The results of the deliberations are being published in two volumes (imperial 
vo), the first being devoted to the proceedings and discussions, the second to the 
erous valuable memoirs contributed by many authorities upon a great variety of 
ets, including papers devoted to pure and to economic Entomology. The volume 
moirs (5l5 pages, 27 plates) is now published and issued to Members. The volume 
ceedings will follow shortly. 
It was decided at the First Congress that the Second Congress should be held 
2, and the following meetings every three years from that date, so that in future 
ntertmatiönal Congress öf Entomology will be held one year before the International 
ıgress of Zoology. 
The Second Congress will therefore be held at Oxford on August 5th to 10th 
under the Presidency of Professor E. B. POULTON, D.Se., F.R.S.
