Travel Grant. 
The Vice-President announced that Mr. F. Merrifield 
had most generously offered to renew his donation to the 
Travel Grant of the Society, and proposed a vote of thanks, 
which was given unanimously. 
Collection of North American Beetles. 
The Vice-President announced that he had received from 
Dr. A. Feynes, of Pasadena, California—who was recently 
elected a Fellow—and exhibited on his behalf, four boxes con¬ 
taining an admirable collection of North American Aleocharine 
Coleoptera, which the donor had kindly offered to the Society. 
In the absence of any collections belonging exclusively to 
the Entomological Society of London, however, he had asked 
Dr. Feynes to authorise a transfer of the gift to the 
British Museum (Natural History), and he therefore, with the 
consent of the Meeting, handed it over to Mr. G. J. Arrow 
for that purpose. 
Mr. G. J. Arrow, on behalf of the British Museum, said 
that the donation would be greatly appreciated, as it included 
examples of many rare species of North American Aleocharinae 
not represented in the National Collections.
