22 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
which county seems to have become quite an emporium for 
entomological rarities. —G. B. C. 
[I am much obliged to Mr. Corbin for these enquiries. I 
cannot believe in the Kentish captures of these two species, 
in this respect differing from my lamented friend Henry 
Doubleday, who was so honest and truthful in all his state- 
ments that he was ever willing to credit those of others. 
When I penned the paragraph to which Mr. Corbin alludes, 
I certainly interided to figure Argynnis Niobe as British ; but 
the specimen in my possession on further information proved 
so questionable that I postponed the drawing and engraving 
sine die. I have received records of the capture of twenty-six 
specimens of Daplidice and a round dozen of Podalirius, 
which | suppress for the same reason.—Hdward Newman.]

NOVEMBER 3, 1875. 
Sir Sidney Smith Saunders, C.M.G., President, in the 
chair. 
This being the first meeting of the Session, the President 
read the following address :— 
Gentlemen,—On the opening of our new Meeting Room 
and Library, at the commencement of the present Session, it 
may be fitting to inaugurate our reunion and installation here 
by a few introductory remarks. Your Council has long been 
conscious of the many inconveniences experienced from the 
former inaccessible position of our Library at Bedford Row 
and its disconnection with our Meeting Room, conceded to 
us by favour of the Linnean Society at Burlington House, 
The numerous additions, moreover, to our bibliographical 
collection having superadded want of space to other exigen- 
cies, it has been deemed expedient to provide for these 
requirements in combination with some other Society capable 
of affording us adequate accommodation. By the unremitting 
exertions of our Secretary, Mr. Grut, this has finally been 
accomplished ; and although the advantages of bringing our 
Library and Meeting Room into juxtaposition in a more 
central site must necessarily involve a certain increase in our 
annual expenditure, it may not unreasonably be anticipated
