PRIZE ESSAYS 
OF 
THE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 
——semm ws ss 
As an inducement to the study of Economic Entomology, the 
the Council renews its offer of Two Prizes of the value of Five 
Guineas each to be awarded to the authors of Essays or 
Memoirs, of sufficient merit and drawn up from personal obser- 
vation, on the anatomy, economy, or habits of any insect or group 
of insects especially serviceable or obnoxious to mankind. The 
Essays may be illustrated by figures of the insects in their diffe- 
rent states, and (if the species be noxious) must show the results 
of actual experiments made for the prevention of their attacks 
or the destruction of the insects themselves. 
The Essays must be sent to the Secretary at No. 12, Bedford 
Row, indorsed with mottoes, on or before the 30th of November, 
1867, when they will be referred to a Committee to decide upon 
their merits; each must be accompanied by a sealed letter indorsed 
with the motto adopted by its author, and inclosing his name and 
address. 
The Prize Essays shall be the property of, and will be pub- 
lished by, the Society.
