The meeting of Entomologists, which usually takes place 

 in July, was considered in 191 2 to be merged in the Congress. 

 A nearly complete record of those who attended is preserved 

 in the Visitors' Book of the Hope Department — going back 

 to the date, June 12, 1N50, when many members of the Uni- 

 versity visited the collections, which had just arrived, and 

 were accommodated in the Taylorian Building. From that 

 date up to August, 191 2, the book presents a very interesting 

 record of the students of insects who have visited the Hope 

 collections in Oxford. At the opening of the Congress on 

 August 5 there were only some half-dozen blank pages left in 

 the book, and these are now filled with 175 signatures of those 

 who attended the meeting, August 5-10.
