 late R. Shelford, M.A., R. Trimen, M.A,, F.R.S., etc., and 

 R. E. Turner. Two of these are important monographs each 

 occupying a complete part, one relating to Lepidoptera, the 

 other to Coleoptera ; of the other papers nine refer to Lepido- 

 ptera, three to Hymenoptera, one each to Coleoptera, 

 Orthoptera and Thysanoptera, and one especially to Economic 

 Entomology. The Proceedings occupy one hundred and forty- 

 four pages and contain a great amount of important informa- 

 tion connected with the Exhibits at the Meetings, much of 

 which is contained in letters and notes from Fellows of the 

 Society pursuing methodical Entomological work in Central 

 Africa, Ceylon, Hawaii, etc. 



The Transactions are illustrated by 86 plates, consisting of 

 8 chromo-lithographs, 10 monotint and 2 black lithographs, 

 28 half-tone plates and 38 line-blocks. All the drawings 

 except that of one of the chromos were given by the Authors, 

 and in that case a sum of £10 was given by Mr. Feltham 

 towards the entire cost of the plate. The cost of 1 chromo 

 and 25 half-tone plates was given by Dr. Chapman, and that 

 of one monotint lithograph by Mr. Eltringham. Of the two 

 text figures occurring in the Proceedings, that illustrating 

 Mr. C. O. Waterhouse's exhibit of a Mantid obtheca was 

 given by the Exhibitor. In addition to these donations 

 towards the cost of the plates the Royal Society has promised 

 a grant of £60 towards the production of Part III, consisting 

 of Dr. Sharp's monograph with its 37 plates. 



The generosity of Mr. F. Meiri field, one of our ex- 

 Presidents, again enabled the Council to offer a travel-gi'ant. 

 Only one application, however, was received, and this did not 

 fulfi.1 the one condition made by Mr. Merrifield, viz. that 

 without the grant the recipient would be obliged to confine 

 his ciillecting for the year to the British Isles.
