Spiders," Mr. E. Step's " Notes on Sea Anemones (Actinia:) " 

 and " Some British Spider Crabs " ; and I must not omit 

 Mr. T. R. Billup's papers on " Hymenopterous and Dipterous 

 Parasites Bred by Members of the Society," or Mr. J. Jenner 

 Weir's " Remarks on Picris napi and Allied Forms." Then, 

 on more general subjects, there are Mr. R. South's paper, 

 " Some Observations on Protective Coloration of Lepi- 

 doptera," Mr. T. D. A. Cockerell's " On Variation," Dr. 

 T. A. Chapman's on " Some Points on the Evolution of the 

 Lepidopterous Antenna," Mr. J. W. Tutt's on " The Scientific 

 Aspects of Entomology," and " The Nature of Metamor- 

 phosis," Mr. A. M. Montgomery's " Notes on Rearing Lepi- 

 doptera," Mr. F. Noad Clark's " Practical Hints on the 

 Manipulation of the Microscope," and very many others. 

 But I have already said enough to show that our Society 

 has done, and is doing, useful work, that it has justified its 

 existence ; and so long as it continues to encourage original 

 research among its members we need have no fear for the 

 future.
