To those gentlemen named above, who have kindly added 

 to the Library, the best thanks of the Society are given. 



Mr. West, the one and only Curator the Society has had 

 during its thirty-two years of existence, has again carried on 

 his work to the full satisfaction of everybody. He reports 

 the following list of donations to the Collections of the 

 Society, and the Council wish to thank those gentlemen 

 therein named : 



Mr. R. Adkin and Dr. Chapman have given several good 

 species to the collection, and Mr. Hy. J. Turner a store- 

 box of Tortrices, Crambi, and Tinea. Mr. West also 

 adds that he wishes to thank Mr. Ashby for his valuable 

 assistance in going through the Society's Collections with 

 a view to eliminating the mould which has appeared in 

 most drawers since the building operations Most of it has 

 been now removed, and only a few easily replaced specimens 

 were beyond recovery. 



The Council are pleased to note the increasing use which 

 the Members of the Society make of the Library and Col- 

 lections for reference, and the growing custom for the 

 Meeting to finish with a conversazione. In this connection 

 they would like to point to the incoming Council the de- 

 sirability at an early date of publishing a Catalogue of the 

 Library, of which a MS. copy has already been prepared by 

 Mr. Sauze.
