Report of the CoLincil. 



During the Session 1892-1893 eleven Fellows have died,

 Carl Conrad Burmeister, M.D., Mr. Edward H. Burnell, 

 Dr. Carl August Dohrn, Mr. John T. Harris, Mr. Henry

 Mr. Sidney T. Smith, Mr. Henry T. Stainton, F.E.S., Mr. 

 Howard W. J. Yaughan, and Professor J. 0. Westwood, M.A., 

 the Hon. Life-President; two Fellows have resigned; and 25 

 new Fellows have been elected. 



The number of Fellows elected during the year is above 

 the average, but the Society is in need of a considerable 

 increase in this respect to enable it to pubUsh more papers, 

 and allow more plates, and in other ways to advance its 

 interests and promote its objects. The Council, therefore, 

 earnestly hope that the Fellows will do their utmost to in- 

 duce their friends to join the Society, and thus increase its 

 revenue. 



At the present time the Society consists of 8 Honorary 

 Fellows, 47 Life Fellows, and 296 paying the Annual Sub- 

 scription, making the total number of Fellows now on the 

 Society's List, 351, which, after allowing for the losses by 

 deaths and resignations, is an increase of 12 since the Annual 

 Meeting last year. 



The Transactions for the year 1892 form a volume of 

 nearly 500 pages, containing 19 memoirs contributed by the 

 following authors, viz., Colonel Swinhoe, M.A., Mr. Frederic 

 Enock, Mr. George T. Bethuue-Baker, Mr. Frederic Merri- 

 field, Mr. William Bateson, 'M.A. (2 papers), Mr. Edward
