REPORT OF THE COUNCIL, 1901. 



'T^HE Council of the South London Entomological and 

 Natural History Society, in presenting the Twenty- 

 ninth Annual Report, is pleased to state that the Society 

 continues to maintain a satisfactory condition, both as to its 

 membership and as to the educational and scientific value of 

 the work it does. 



The present membership is somewhat more than at the 

 corresponding time last year. Nine new Members have been 

 elected, while two resignations have been accepted, and 

 three names have been removed from the list under Bye- 

 law 10, section 2. Thus the actual number of Members is 

 174, made up of 4 Honorary, 5 Life, 40 Country, and 125 

 Ordinary Members. 



The Hon. Treasurer's Balance-sheet is printed on page 

 X., and from its perusal it will be seen that the Society has 

 again satisfactorily met its liabilities, under the skilful 

 management of Mr. T. W. Hall. 



The Council greatly regret that the President for the year, 

 Mr. H. S. Kremlin, met with a very serious accident in 

 July, and since that time has been unable to attend the 

 meetings of the Society. They wish to offer him their hearty 

 good wishes for his speedy recovery. 



The ordinary meetings of the Society have been very well 

 attended throughout the year, and the exhibits have been 

 numerous and varied, but the accompanying notes have 

 been somewhat scanty. Through the kindness of Mr. Hall, 

 one evening was devoted to a lecture on " Bird Life," by 

 Mr. W. R. Kearton, and was well attended and appreciated.
