  The 
  Treasurer 
  annoimced 
  that 
  subscriptions 
  were 
  needed 
  

   for 
  the 
  upkeep 
  of 
  Wicken 
  Fen 
  ; 
  observing 
  that 
  permits 
  would 
  

   be 
  given 
  preferentially 
  to 
  subscribers. 
  He 
  stated 
  that 
  two 
  

   acres 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  fen 
  had 
  been 
  offered 
  for 
  sale 
  at 
  a 
  

   very 
  reasonable 
  price, 
  and 
  had 
  been 
  acquired 
  by

   Trust. 
  

  

  Date 
  of

  Ris' 
  Names 
  in 
  Odonata. 
  

  

  Dr. 
  Gahan 
  said 
  that 
  M. 
  Severin 
  had 
  written 
  to 
  him 
  asking 
  

   whether 
  it 
  would 
  be 
  possible 
  to 
  give 
  to 
  Dr. 
  Ris' 
  names 
  in 
  

   Odonata 
  the 
  date 
  at 
  which 
  they 
  were 
  ready 
  for 
  publication, 
  

   the 
  actual 
  publication 
  having 
  been 
  made 
  impossible 
  by 
  the 
  war. 
  

  

  Several 
  Fellows 
  joined 
  in 
  the 
  ensuing 
  discussion, 
  but 
  it 
  was 
  

   universally 
  held 
  that 
  such 
  a 
  course 
  would 
  be 
  impossible. 
  

  

  A 
  Judge 
  on 
  Entomology. 
  

   Mr. 
  Bethune-Baker 
  called 
  the 
  attention 
  of 
  the 
  Society 
  to 
  

   the 
  disparaging 
  remarks 
  made 
  in 
  a 
  recent 
  case 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Justice 
  

   Darling 
  with 
  reference 
  to 
  Entomology, 
  and 
  asked 
  whether 
  it 
  

   would 
  be 
  possible 
  and 
  wise 
  to 
  take 
  official 
  notice 
  of 
  the 
  matter. 
  

   It 
  seemed, 
  however, 
  to 
  be 
  generally 
  felt 
  that 
  it 
  was 
  not 
  worth 
  

   while, 
  Dr. 
  Longstalf 
  remarking 
  that 
  even 
  though 
  the 
  " 
  learned 
  

   Judge 
  " 
  had 
  displayed 
  a 
  want 
  of 
  knowledge, 
  the 
  Society 
  was 
  

   not 
  a 
  finishing 
  school 
  for 
  Judges.
