TO OXFORD. 



(Plate II.) 



The members of the Council and Fellows of the Entomological 

 Society, who had accepted Professor E. B. Poulton's kind in- 

 vitation to visit Oxford, assembled in the Hope Department of 

 Zoology in the Museum on Saturday, July 5th. After a pleasant 

 afternoon spent in inspecting the collections, now in process 

 of rearrangement, an adjournment was made to Jesus College, 

 where Professor Poulton entertained the following members of 

 the University and Fellows of the Society : the Vice-Chancellor, 

 Mr. D. B. Monro, Provost of Oriel ; Mr. A. B. Poynton, Senior 

 Proctor ; Mr. A. J. Evans, Keeper of the Ashmolean Museum ; 

 Professor Dixey, Dr. David Sharp, Mr. R. McLachlan, Pro- 

 fessor Meldola, the Eev. F. D. Morice, Colonel Swinhoe, Mr. 

 A. J. Ghitty, Mr. M. Jacoby, Mr. Hamilton Druce, Mr. H. St. J. 

 K. Donisthorpe, Mr. Guy Marshall, and Mr. H. Eowland-Brown. 

 While of the uninvited but appropriate (!) guests who put in an 

 appearance was the rare Reduvius personatiis, Linn., taken by 

 Professor Poulton on the college wall, crawling up toward the 

 electric light. On Sunday tea was served in one of the meadows 

 that border the Cherwell, after a pleasant pull on the river, now 

 in all its summer freshness, and the haunt of innumerable 

 Odonata, of which Calopteryx splendens and Msclina cyanea 

 were perhaps the commonest and most admired. Later in the
