African Entomology, and one by Dr. Chapman to the subject 
of Teratology in insects. 
The Memoirs referred to are illustrated by twenty-nine plates, 
of which nine are coloured. Half the cost of Plate I has been 
defrayed by Mr. Lathy. Mr. M. Burr has given the draw- 
ings for Plate IV. Dr. T. A. Chapman has given the whole 
cost of Plate V, the blocks for Plates VI-XII, and the photo- 
graph for Plate XX VII. Mr. Crawshay has given the pho- 
tographs for Plates XIV-XX, and Mr. J. C. Kershaw the 
drawings for Plates XXII-XXIII. The entire cost of 
Plate XXV has been defrayed by Dr. G. B. Longstaff, the 
drawings of Plates XXVI-XXVII have been presented by 
Mr. L. Guppy, junior, and Lieut.-Colonel Manders has given 
£5 towards the expenses of Plate XXIX. The quality and 
length of the Proceedings has also been well maintained, and 
many short papers are now included in this part of our 
publications. 
We regret to announce that the amount offered in grant for 
a Travel Fund, so liberally volunteered by Mr. F. Merrifield, 
was not applied for. Mr. Merrifield has, however, most 
kindly announced his willingness to repeat his offer in the 
forthcoming year. 
The Society was invited to send a delegate to the Bicen- 
tenary Celebrations of the Birth of Linnzus at the University 
of Upsala, and the Academy of Science, Stockholm, and was 
represented by the Rev. F. D. Morice, M.A., one of our 
Fellows, who has published in our Proceedings an account of 
the very gratifying way in which he was received on both 
occasions. Another of our Fellows, Professor E. B. Poulton, 
F.R.S., represented the University of Oxford, and was decor- 
ated by the late King of Sweden with the Order of the Polar 
Star in recognition of his services to Entomological Science. 
The Treasurer reports that the Balance Sheet of the Society 
shows that the subscriptions for the year 1907 are about £17 
in excess of the previous year. The admission fees are far in 
excess of any previous year, amounting to £50 8s. The sum 
total received is, however, about £20 less than last year, 
owing to the falling off of donations, and in the sale returns 
of the Transactions.
