generally would easily fill up many blanks among the 

 Lepidoptera at least, and the list which is being prepared 

 will allow each of us to see what wants we can supply from 

 among our own duplicates. 



The specimens in the Tugwell Herbarium, under Mr. Step's 

 care, are being put into good order and will form a valuable 

 and easily accessible collection for reference. I hope an 

 effort will be made by some of our members to supply species 

 which are wanting. 



Thanks to many kind donors, our library has received a 

 number of valuable and interesting additions, which have 

 been already mentioned in the Council's Report. 



Our "special variety" exhibition brought together a large 

 number of members and friends and a goodly array of 

 interesting exhibits. Diversity was introduced by the presence 

 of a live badger. I notice that some members, when exhibit- 

 ing varieties, make a point of showing typical specimens for 

 comparison, a practice which appears to me worthy of 

 general imitation. 



In accordance with the wish of the members, the Council 

 has considered the question of an exhibition somewhat on 

 the lines of those that used to be held by the Society. It 

 has been decided to hold one in these rooms on the evening 

 of Saturday, March ioth. We hope that as we have had no 

 such opportunity for some years all will assist in making it 

 a success, not only by bringing exhibits, but by inviting any 

 known to them who might be induced to add to our member- 

 ship. 



Among the additions to the British list reported during 

 the year I would briefly mention the following : 



COLEOPTERA : 



Amara anthobia, Villa, taken at Leighton Buzzard, by 

 Rev. G. A. Crawshay (" E. M. M.," 1905, p. 87). 



Anisotoma htcens, Fairm., which had been erroneously 

 referred to oblonga, is recorded by Mr. G. C. Champion 

 ("E. M. M.," 1905, p. 198). 



Dacne fowleri, Joy, a species new to science, was discovered 

 by Dr. Norman H. Joy, at Bradfield, Berks (" E. M. M.," 

 1905, p. 274). 



Dinarda hagensi, Wasmann, taken at Bournemouth, by Mr. 

 H. St. J. K. Donisthorpe (" Ent. Record," 1905, p. 181).
