The Council wishes to thank these gentlemen for the 

 trouble they took in making all the necessary arrangements, 

 and only regret that more members do not avail themselves 

 of these most pleasant outings. 



The Society's Collections still remain under the able care 

 of Mr. W. West (Greenwich), who has been its one and 

 only Curator since the Society started in 1872. He reports 

 as follows : 



" I am pleased to tell you that Mr. Adkin, with his usual 

 liberality, has added the following rare species to our collec- 

 tion of Lepidoptera : Chrysophanus dispar, Hcmaris tityus 

 (bombyliformis) , Lophoptcryx carmclita, Pachnobia hyperborea , 

 Anavta mclanopa, A. cordigera, together with several other 

 species. Messrs. Harrison, Main, Carr, and Goulton 

 have also made contributions to the cabinets. To Mr. 

 Ashby for his kind assistance in keeping the collections in 

 order my best thanks are due." 



The Library is still under the care of Mr. A. W. Dods, 

 who reports as follows : 



" Although the number of books borrowed, remains about 

 the same as last year, greater use has been made of the 

 Library on meeting nights." 



He wishes to call the attention of Members to the fact that 

 such back numbers of the Society's "Proceedings" as are 

 still in print ma)' be obtained by them at a reduction of 

 one-third off published price.
