August last, we were represented officially by Dr, F. A. 
Dixey, M.A., M.D., F.E.S., Mr. Roland Trimen, M.A., F.R.S., 
Mr. H, St. J. Donisthorpe, F.Z.S., and Mr. F. Merrifield ; the 
great success of the meeting being in no small degree due to 
the energy and interest displayed by the Fellows of our 
Society, of whom the Hon. Walter Rothschild, M.A., D.Sc., 
and Dr. Karl Jox’dan, Ph.D. (Chairman of the Executive 
Committee), Pi’ofessor Poulton, F.R.S., Dr. F. A. Dixey, 
F.R.S., Mr. H. Rowland-Brown, IM.A., Mr. G. A. K. Marshall, 
and Dr, Malcolm Burr, D.Sc. (General Secretary of the 
Executive Committee), were elected permanent members of 
the International Council. 
We are interested to know that a second Congress of 
Entomology is to be held next year at Oxford, under the 
Presidency of Professor E. B. Poulton, D.Sc., F.R.S,, Hope 
Professor of Zoology in the University of Oxford, and past 
President of our Society. 
At the International Congress of Zoology, held at Gratz in 
August last, our delegates were the lion. Walter Rothschild, 
M.A., D.Sc., and Dr. Karl Jordan, Ph.D. 
The Treasurer reports that after carrying forward to 1911 
£23 2s. for subscriptions paid in advance in 1910, and in¬ 
vesting £47 5s, in Consols for three Life Compositions received 
during that period, making the total sum so invested 
£1,045 6s. 3(7., there remains a genuine cash balance in the 
Society’s favour of £30 11s. lOcZ. 
An analysis of these figures shows that the new system of 
combining the printing and distribution accounts ensures a 
considerable saving of money, and that we are now well able 
to discharge all liabilities incurred for the cost of producing 
the Transactions and Proceedings within the current session. 
It must be borne in mind also that the general expenditure 
of the Society for the year includes also the cost of production, 
and of the design of the new seal of the Society, which will 
henceforth be affixed to all official documents issued by the 
Council, 
This improved condition of our finances is due in great 
measure to the services rendered by the late Mr. J. W. Tutt, 
by whose untimely death the Council and the Society suffer
