be expected, but the losses from this cause can only have been 
very few, for the total number of resignations in 1920, in which 
year the increase was first mooted, and in 1921, is only 38, 
but there were 13 resignations in the previous two years, 
and therefore it would appear that only about 25 can be 
attributed to the increase of subscription. Against these 
losses in the last two years, no less than 124 new Fellows 
have joined our ranks. 
Prominent amongst the donations in aid of the publications 
is the sum of £100 from Jesus College through Prof. Poulton 
(half of this was given in 1920, but not acknowledged), 
£29 5s. Od. from the late Dr. T. A. Chapman, and £22 15s. 4d. 
from the President. The two latter donations are for the 
cost of plates in the 1920 Publications. 
The Society is indebted to Mr. J. J. Joicey for a handsome 
and very useful lantern, and to the President for some necessary 
fire-extinguishers; to Prof. Poulton for a very interesting 
desk slope that was used by Alfred Russel Wallace for many 
years, and to the late Dr. Longstaff for a handsome portrait 
of his kinsman, W. B. Spence, and one of W. Kirby. Our warm 
thanks are due to these generous donors for their much- 
appreciated benefactions. I should like here to say that I 
hope those who possess objects of general interest to Ento- 
mology will be able to see their way to give or bequeath 
them to the Society, so that they may be available for the 
benefit of posterity. 
The sale of the Society’s Publications has brought in con- 
siderably more than last year, and the sum realised amounts 
to £181 lls. 3d. This is the largest sum accruing from this 
source in any one year. Now that the Society has undertaken 
the sale of the whole of its Publications, and has the necessary 
staff to attend to it, this source of income should be more 
lucrative. 
During the year the sum of £205 17s. 2d. has been added to 
the Compounding Fund, a further £66 2s, 4d. is now available, 
and will shortly be invested. The amount of interest received 
on account of this fund in 1921 was £48 17s. 10d., and as the 
Fellows who had compounded for their subscriptions were 
reduced by the death of four of their number, the income
