REPORT OF THE ARCH^OLOGICAL SECTION. 



Nothing worthy of record has been transacted at the meetings of 

 the Archaeological Section of the Society. A few members offered to 

 assist in arranging and deciphering the old papers in the possession of 

 the Churchwardens of the Parish Church, but difficulties arose respecting 

 the safe custody of the documents and the project had to be abandoned 

 for the season. The only paper promised was not read in consequence 

 of the smallness of attendance.

 Hon. Sec. of the Arch. Section. 



REPORT OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL SECTION. 



This Section, though small, consisting of less than a dozen members, 

 has been very active during the past winter, as will be seen from the 

 fact that the members have held eight meetings during the last four 

 months, the attendance averaging about six. 



The Section is engaged on the preparation of a new list of the 

 Lepidoptera of the district, in which will be incorporated the notes on 

 the subject by the late Mr. Edwin Brown, contained in the late Sir 

 Oswald Mosley's Natural History of Tutbury, and also the list compiled 

 by the late Dr. W Garneys, in connection with the Repton School. 



Considerable progress has already been made with the work, and it 

 is hoped that the Micro-Lepidoptera will be completed before the com- 

 mencement of the summer season. 



As very few members of the Section have worked at the Micro- 

 Lepidoptera, Mr. J. T. Harris has kindly undertaken with the assistance 

 of Dr. P. B. Mason, F.L.S., to compile a list of the insects included in 

 that division. 



The Nomenclature and Classification adopted will be that of Mr. 

 South's new "Entomologist List of British Lepidoptera." 



The list when completed promises to show a record which will well 

 bear comparison with some of our best Entomological Localities. 



During last summer the members of the Section did some goo.d 

 work among the Lepidoptera of the district. Only one capture, however, 

 deserves special mention, and that is Scoparia(Eudorea) Conspicualis.
