AnnuaL Appress.—The President delivered an address entitled 
‘« Some Aquatic Insects,’ which was illustrated by a collection of 1380 
lantern slides representing the life-histories of many species of insects 
which live in or about the water. In his introduction Mr. West touched 
upon the general conditions of aquatic environment, such as the effect 
of the geological formation upon the character of the water and the 
flora maintained by it, and consequently, the species of insects found 
in a particular district. The saline and acid or alkaline quality of 
water was discussed and the reaction upon insect and vegetable life 
resulting from a particular condition, wasillustrated by various examples. 
The photographs, nearly all taken by the President himself, were very 
fine examples of such work done under conditions of exceptional diffi- 
culty. The series included life-histories of the following species :— 
Chironomus, Culex, various HE’ phemeridae, Trichoptera and Perlidae, aquatic 
Coleoptera, as Dytiscus and the ‘‘ whirligig”’ beetles, the whole presenting 
a very clear and connected idea of the lives of these interesting 
creatures in their natural element.
