(C cha) 
congratulate you on your ratification of the choice the Council 
has made of my successor in the Chair. Lord Walsingham 
is well known to you, and you all know, too, that it is but 
rarely the Society can expect to find one so well qualified by 
social position, by natural disposition, and by entomological 
attainments for its president. We may feel confident that 
under his presidency the Society will continue to flourish.
