ORNITHOLOGICAL NOTICES. 
The workers in this branch regret that they cannot offer a more 
complete record of the local Zoology. They hope, however, next 
year, to give a report showing more diligence in their section. 
The small number of this year’s notices of migratory birds and 
entries of eggs taken is owing to remissness in recording rather 
than in observation.

GEOLOGICAL NOTICES. 
There can be no better proof of the Society's deficiency in this 
department, than to transcribe the only entries in the Album— 
Gryphea incurva, Astrea Marshii, and Turritella terebra. As the 
working of this section requires most encouragement, a prize will 
be given under the following conditions for the best collection of 
local fossils. 
(1.) That every fossil be found in the neighbourhood by the collector himself. 
(2.) That to every specimen be affixed its name and locality. 
ENTOMOLOGICAL NOTICES. 
It has been the object of the Entomological Committee, in 
drawing up these notices, to give a tolerably complete list of the 
Cheltenham Lepidoptera, appending to every insect of any rarity 
the number of the district in which it was captured, with the 
initials of the member by whom it was recorded. The Zinetna, 
Tortrices, &c,. have been so poorly worked, owing to the comparative 
inexperience of our Entomologists, that the Committee have 
determined to exclude them from this year’s catalogue. But, not- 
withstanding their omission, the list is such that the Society have 
great reason to congratulate themselves on the capital field open 
to their observation ; for though it cannot be expected to record 
every year such captures as V. Antiopa, X. conspicillaris, and C. 
Celerio, yet the yearly occurrence of many rare insects is well 
authenticated. For not only has every season been marked by
