Under the head of Transactions of Societies and Serials, there 

 are 156 entries, distributed as follows, according to the countries 

 in which they are published : — 



156 



Publications of existing Entomological Societies, and 

 Entomological Journals. 



As a prominent feature in my short Address this evenin<^ I 

 have chosen the subject of existing Entomological Societies 

 publishing Transactions, and existing Journals devoted exclusively 

 to Entomology, under which head may be included the whole of 

 the Arthropoda, for most of the Societies, and many of the 

 Journals, do not confine themselves solely to Insecta. To have 

 made the list retrospective with regard to pubhcations that have 

 ceased to appear would have been almost impossible. Still more 

 impofesible is it to glance at the innumerable publications of 

 Societies and Journals of which Entomology forms a greater or 

 lesser portion of the contents. Furthermore, I have not attempted 

 to collect information as to publications concerning Bee-keeping, 

 and other allied departments of Applied Entomology. 



GREAT BRITAIN. 



Transactions of the Entomological Society of London, con- 

 sisting of three series of 5 vols, each, and annual vols, since 1868 

 inclusive, so that the vol. about to be completed brings the total to 

 34. Vol. i. of the first series was completed in 1836. I am sure 

 you will all echo the wish — May our Society exist for ever ! 



Entomologist's Monthly Magazine, nnd Ento7nologist ; monthly 

 Journals both commenced in 1864. 



Cistula Entomologica, commenced in 1872, chiefly devoted to 

 descriptive work, appearing at irregular intervals. 



Although perhaps scarcely within my province, I here mention 

 Mr. C. 0. Waterhouse's ' Aid to the Identification of Insects,'
