 On this occasion the Secretary read an address composed for 

 the occasion, and Mr. Saunders made an eloquent reply, ex- 

 pressive of high appreciation of this acknowledgment of his 

 services. In the course of this reply Mr. Saunders alluded 

 in very strong terms to the necessity of working out not only 

 the specific characters of insects, but also their life-histories : 

 he considered the habits and economy of insects one of the 

 most interesting as well as most useful branches of the study, 

 and concluded by saying that his own collections should 

 always be at the service of any Entomologist who desired to 

 make use of them. The address as well as the reply were 

 received with great enthusiasm by the members present.
