The President said the meeting opened with a deep sense of 

 the loss which they had sustained in the death of their 

 Treasurer — a loss which would be grievously felt by entomo- 

 logical science throughout the world. It was not possible at 

 that time to speak of the details of the services rendered by 

 Bobert McLachlan to the science which was the dominant 

 interest of his life ; but in bringing before the Fellows of the 

 Society the Besolution submitted by the Council, he must 

 allude to two chief features of the lamented naturalist — the 

 breadth of knowledge which made him so valuable and helpful 

 a member of their community, and the intensity of his devotion 

 to the interests of the Society. 



On the motion of the President, seconded by Mr. G. H. 

 Verrall, it was then unanimously resolved to express on 

 behalf of the Society sincere sympathy with the family of the 

 deceased in their bereavement.
