their fellow workers, that the jubilee meeting may show a much larger roll 
of members than the present muster. If the large body of entomologists in 
Britain who have not joined the Society did but know how great are the 
advantages offered to its members, it confidently expects that a large 
accession of members would be attracted. This would enable the Society 
to extend its publications and to enrich its Library; and the good work 
done by the Society being more widely known could but tend to foster 
the study of Entomology and accelerate its progress on a wider and more 
scientific basis, in this country.
