760 Rev. G. Wheeler on the Dates of the 
- 
“APPENDIX A, 
ON THE DATES OF THE VOLUME OF TRANSACTIONS 
PUBLISHED BY THE FORMER ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 
THE date of Part i is definitely fixed by the Minute 
Book of the Society as being July 1st, 1807, this having 
been fixed by Resolution as the day for Publication which, 
as non-members had not access to the meetings, was to be 
effected by sending copies to several publishing firms ; the 
part, however, was apparently ready before this date. 
Part 11 was printed and laid on the table on April 4th, 
1809, but owing to an irregularity as to the papers printed, 
was referred to a Committee, which met on April 17th, 
and reported to the Meeting held on May 2nd, when it 
was ordered that it “be forthwith published.” As it was 
ready a month before, there was nothing to delay it. 
Part iii was ordered “to be published forthwith” on 
Sept. Ist, 1812, which was done during the month, as 
appears by the Minutes of the Meeting of Oct. 7th, but 
there is nothing to show whether on Sept. Ist it was ready 
for immediate publication, 
The dates are as follows :— 
Part i, July 1st, 1807. 
Part 11, Early in May 1809 (probably May 3rd). 
Part 11i, Sept. 1812. 
APPENDIX B. 
ON THE DATES OF THE PROCEEDINGS FROM JANUARY 1840 
TO DECEMBER 1846. 
The Journal of Proceedings for these seven years was 
printed in sheets of 16 pp. each, and distributed gratis to 
members, and sold to the public at one shilling per sheet. 
These were reprinted in 1864, but the original sheets are 
very scarce; the Entomological Society does not possess a 
single copy. There is one, bound by itself, in the Insect 
Department at South Kensington, presented (almost too 
generously) by our Society, another, up to p. 144, bound 
with vol. iv (First Series), in the Hope Department at the 
Oxford University Museum, a third, bound up with the 
same volume, at the Linnean Society, and a torn copy in
