To receive from the Treasurer, and hear read, his report, 

 and the Statement of the Society's financial affairs. 



The first proposal was adopted on the motion of Dr. Gahan, 

 seconded by Mr. Donisthorpe, the second on that of Lieut. 

 AsHBY, seconded by Mr. Kaye. 



The Eev. G. Wheeler said that the alterations in the Bye- 

 laws would necessitate changes in the numbers of several 

 Chapters and sections, and asked (in case it should be thought 

 necessary) for authorisation to make such changes, which was 

 accorded. 



The Treasurer said there was still one amendment needed, 

 as on removal to other premises it would be necessary for 

 the Society to avail itself of the Statute relieving Literary 

 and Scientific Societies from rates and taxes ; one of the two 

 necessary conditions was provided for in the present Chapter 

 XXIII, but it was not definitely stated in the Bye-laws that 

 the Society was exclusively a Scientific one; he therefore 

 thought it would be well that the 1st Chapter should read : — 



Chap. I. Object. 



The Entomological Society of London is a Scientific 

 Society instituted for the improvement and diffusion of 

 Entomological Science exclusively. 



It was proposed by Mr. Bethune-Baker, seconded by Dr. 

 Cameron, and carried that this alteration be adopted. 



Lord Eothschild then proposed and Mr. Lloyd seconded 

 a motion that the Bye-laws as now amended be adopted, 

 which was carried.
