Of these 5 refer to Coleoptera, 3 to Lepidoptera, 2 to Neuro- 
ptera, 1 each to Diptera, Hymenoptera and Orthoptera, 
and 2 are of general interest. 
The illustrations consist of 25 plates, of which 2 are collo- 
type, 11 are half-tone, and 12 are line-block, as well as a 
number of diagrams and text-figures. The originals have in 
all cases been provided by the authors, and thanks to the 
kindly offices of Prof. Poutron, a generous contribution of 
£50 has been received from Jesus College, Oxford, towards 
the cost of the volume, in addition to a similar sum given 
last year. 
The Proceedings will consist of about 100 pages, and are 
illustrated by one half-tone plate (the cost of which is borne 
by Prof. Poutron) and a few text-figures. 
During the year the Society has become affiliated to the 
Conjoint Board of Scientific Societies. Dr. Neave has been 
nominated as the Society’s representative on the Board, and 
it is hoped that this influential body will be of great assistance 
in supporting the interests of all the Scientific Societies 
affiliated to it. 
The attendance at the meetings has been remarkably good, 
and appears to be the highest on record. This is doubtless 
due in large measure to the attractions of our new quarters. 
The average number of Fellows and visitors present at meetings 
during the year has been 68 as compared with 51 in the two 
previous years or 57 in the last pre-war year. 
The experiment of holding a few informal meetings in certain 
months when there is no second ordinary meeting was made 
during the year. Those held in April and May were not very 
successful, but the meeting held on 4th January last was well 
attended. 
The conduct of the detailed work of the Society’s business 
which was formerly carried on by the Business Committee 
has been divided amongst a Finance and Housing Committee 
under the chairmanship of Dr. G. A. K. MarsHatu, a Publi- 
cation Committee under the chairmanship of Mr. G. T.
