descriptions of various new genera and species, by Mr. John 

 Scott, have also appeared in these ' Annals.' Others on British 

 Hemiptera by MM. Douglas and Scott and Mr. E. Saunders, 

 have appeared in the 'Entomologist's Monthly Magazine.' 



The Editors of this work have announced their intention of 

 publishing an annual summary of all additions to the British 

 Fauna in the several orders of insects. 



A series of papers and diagrams of the structure of the wings 

 in the several genera of Dipterous Insects, by the late Francis 

 Walker (the figures from drawings by Haliday), has appeared in 

 several numbers of the ' Entomologist' during the past year. 



An important sequel to the ' Nomenclator Zoologicus ' of 

 Agassiz has been compiled by Count Augustus de Marschall, 

 and issued under the patronage of the Zoologico-Botanical 

 Society of Vienna; comprising all the new genera of the 

 Animal Kingdom described from 1846 to 1868, with references 

 to the respective publications. 



A new volume of the 'Zoological Eecord' (vol. ix., 1872) has 

 also been issued during the past year. 



In conclusion, I would beg to call attention to the advantages 

 derivable from giving timely notice to our Secretary of papers to 

 be read, or of subjects to be discussed, at successive meetings, 

 the publication of which notices would be likely to prove attractive 

 to many of our members, and enable them to come prepared for 

 the occasion. 



The thanks of the meeting were unauimously voted to the rresiclent for 

 his Address and for his services during the past year. The i resident 



returned thanks. . , . ., 



Thanks were also voted to the other officers for their services duung the 



year. 



Mr. M'Lachlau returned thanks.
