The Proceedings, which occupy 112 pages, are also illus- 

 trated by two half-tone plates, the entire cost of one of which 

 was borne by Dr. Chapman, as well as by several text-figures 

 and a chart,* and contain, in addition to notices of the exhibits 

 made at the meetings, an account of several important dis- 

 coveries, largely contributed by Fellows at work in Africa, 

 and a report of interesting discussions which have arisen at 

 the meetings. Notwithstanding the fact that many of the 

 younger Entomologists are with the colours, the attendance 

 at these has been well kept up by the older Fellows, and 

 has never fallen so low as 50, even since the outbreak of the 

 War. 



The Treasurer reports as follows : — 



" The balance sheet compares favourably with that of last 

 year. One satisfactory result is a record receipt for Annual 

 Subscriptions, being £5 in excess of last year and £40 in excess 

 of the average totals five years ago. The other receipts are 

 less than the previous year, with the exception of the amount 

 under the heading of ' Interest on Investments.' This sum 

 steadily increases, and now amounts to nearly £40 per annum — 

 comparing with £29 17s. U. in 1910. 



'" The cost for printing, £407 3s. 2d., is a heavy item, but 

 during the ensuing year I have every reason to anticipate 

 this expense being materially reduced. The cost for plates, 

 £169 4s. 3(Z., may appear excessive, but from this item £58 

 14s. %cl. has to be deducted for the various amounts received 

 from contributors, and is merged in the total of £65 18s. M. 

 under the head of ' Donations.' The further depreciation of 

 £41 18s. lid. in the value of our securities, since the War, 

 is not, I think, excessive. 



" A. Hugh Jones, 



" Treasurer." 



* The President's Address is illustrated by 12 half-tone plates, of 

 which he gives the entire cost.
