would be well if, failing British examples, we could have 

 Continental specimens as representatives ; they would be very 

 useful to many of our younger Members. 



The following gentlemen have contributed a number of 

 fine specimens, which have replaced poor specimens which 

 the Cabinet formerly contained. 



Macro-Lepidoptera : Mr. C. G. Brown, Mr. A. Harrison, 

 Mr. L. W. Newman, Mr. A. L. Rayward, Mr. A. E. Tonge, 

 and Mr. West (Ashtead). 



Mr. R. Adkin has contributed very largely to the Micros, 

 many species being from the late Mr. C. G. Barrett's 

 collection. 



Mr. Ashby, British species of Coleoptera, 



Mr. McArthur, a few Scotch Coleoptera. 



Mr. West (of Greenwich), several British Hemiptera." 



The usual " Abstract of Proceedings " was published in 

 May, and consisted of a volume of 114 pages and five 

 plates. 



There have been six Field Meetings held during the year, 

 as follows : 



May 30th. — Oxshott. Conductor : Mr. Step. 



June 20th. — Box Hill. Conductor: Mr. Turner. 



July nth. — Ranmore Common. Conductor; Mr. 

 Edwards. 



July 25th. — Byfleet. Conductors: Messrs. Edwards 

 and Sich. 



September 19th. — Claygate. Conductor : Mr. Turner. 



October 10th. — Oxshott (Fungus Foray). Conductor: 

 Mr. Step. 



In addition to the above, a meeting was held on March 

 28th at the Natural History Museum, South Kensington, 

 when Dr. A. Smith-Woodward, F.R.S., conducted the Mem- 

 bers over the Department of Fossil Reptilia. 



Whilst three of the Field Meetings were well attended, 

 the others showed a marked falling off in numbers. 



Mr. Dods, the Librarian, reports that the books still 

 continue to be largely used for reference on meeting nights 

 although fewer have been borrowed for home use during the 

 year.
