  held 
  at 
  Pusa 
  from 
  7th

  and

  were 
  

   read 
  at

  account 
  of 
  the 
  

   discussion 
  on 
  the 
  papers 
  read 
  at 
  the 
  meeting

  That 
  these 
  Meetings 
  are 
  of 
  very 
  real 
  utility 
  and 
  interest 
  to 
  all 
  Ento- 
  

   mological 
  workers 
  in 
  India 
  is 
  best 
  shown 
  by 
  the 
  internal 
  evidence 
  of 
  the 
  

   Reports 
  of 
  the 
  various 
  Meetings 
  which 
  may 
  be 
  left 
  to 
  speak 
  for 
  themselves. 
  

  

  It 
  may 
  be 
  added 
  that 
  no 
  Report 
  was 
  published 
  of 
  the 
  First 
  Entomo- 
  

   logical 
  Meeting, 
  held 
  in 
  1915, 
  but 
  that 
  Reports 
  of 
  the 
  Second 
  (1917) 
  

   and 
  Third 
  (1919) 
  Meetings 
  are 
  still 
  available.
