REPORT OF THE COUNCIL, 1906. 



THE Council of the South London Entomological and 

 Natural History Society, in presenting the Thirty- 

 fifth Annual Report, is pleased to state that the 

 Society still maintains a satisfactory condition. 



During the year ten new Members have been elected, 

 while two resignations have been received. In addition 

 your Council record with regret that three Members have 

 passed away, viz. : Mr. F. G. Cannon, who joined the 

 Society in 1903, died at the early age of thirty-seven; Mr. W^ 

 Chaney, one of the earliest Members, who had always taken 

 a keen interest in the work of the Society, and for some years 

 was its Librarian, died in his sleep on November 3rd last 

 at the age of seventy-eight ; the Rev. F. H. Wood, of 

 Bromley Park, Kent, who had been a Member since 1S99, 

 and was a frequent attendant at the Field Meetings, died 

 suddenly on April 4th. He will be much missed, as he was 

 the only arachnologist the Society possessed. At present, 

 therefore, the total membership of the Society is 178, con- 

 sisting of 2 Honorary, 5 Life Members, 32 Country, and 

 139 Ordinary Members. 



The Treasurer's Balance Sheet, duly audited, is printed at 

 page x, and shows the Society to be in a satisfactory con- 

 dition. 



The attendance at the ordinary meetings has again been 

 very good, even in the summer months, when active outdoor 

 work in entomology is so much more attractive. The 

 average attendance of Members at the twenty-three meet- 

 ings has been thirty-one, a slight improvement on last year's 

 average.
