‘ ‘ To THE Entomological Society of Russia'. 
“ The Entomological Society of London offers its most cordial 
congratulations to its colleagues of St. Petersburg on the 
occasion of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the foundation of the 
Entomological Society of Russia. During the years that have 
elapsed since the entomologists of Russia constituted them¬ 
selves as an organised body, the science to which the Societies 
of London and St. Petersburg are equally devoted, has made 
unexampled progress. The scientific value of entomological 
study and research is noAV universally recognised. The light 
which has been shed by the labours of entomologists upon 
questions of general biology, especially in the department of 
bionomics, is of the highest importance; and the services 
rendered by the economic branches of our science have been, 
and will continue to be, of the utmost benefit to civilisation. 
In all these forms of scientific activity the Entomological 
Society of Russia, illuminated by many great names, has 
borne a worthy part, and the Entomological Society of London 
gladly welcomes the present opportunity of offering to its 
brethren in Russia this expression of hearty goodwill, and of 
congratulating them on their successful pursuit of a science 
which will do much to encourage and foster the Comity of 
Nations.
