It is unnecessary to give an account of the Entomological 

 Congress on the present occasion, for a full Report is in course 

 of preparation. It is right to say that the meeting in Oxford 

 of so many eminent representatives of the science from all 

 parts of the world was, and has since been, a great source of 

 strength to the Hope Department. It is also impossible to 

 leave the subject without thanking Mr. Eltringham for his 

 work, first as Local Secretary, and then — through the illness of 

 the wife of Dr. Malcolm Burr, the elected officer — as General 

 Secretary. His self-sacrificing labours were shared by his 

 friend, the late G. H. Grosvcnor, who rendered at the Con- 

 gress his last service to Oxford. Dr. Dixey and Commander 

 Walker, in Oxford, and Dr. Karl Jordan, Dr. Longstaff, and 

 Professor Selwyn Image, paying many visits, all helped in 

 the kindest manner to carry out the necessary arrangements 

 for the meeting. A great deal of work also fell upon the 

 assistants in the Hope Department, Mr. Hamtn and Mr. 

 Collins, who worked hard to place the Collections at the 

 disposal of the members. 



The success of the meeting was also due to the kind per- 

 mission given by the Delegates of the Museum, to colleagues 

 the Heads of the Museum Departments, to Colleges — 

 especially Wadham, New College, and Merton — where mem- 

 bers were given rooms and otherwise entertained, to Oxford 

 residents who offered hospitality, and, above all, to the 

 Warden of Wadham, who generously lent his private garden 

 to the Congress, and permitted a tent to be erected in it.
