proposed that Hertford and Essex should be included in the counties 
covered by the Union. This was seconded by Mr. J. W. Tutt, F.E.S., 
editor to the Union, and will be considered at the next Congress.

urged to attend; the great interest and educational value of 
these meetings will amply repay them for the time thus occupied.

illustrated reports of the previous Congresses can be seen on appli- 
cation to the Natural History Secretary.
