Four Excursions were held this year, viz : — 

 May 24th ... Loughton, 



June 28th ... Box HilL 



July 26th .., Sev-enoaks. 



August 23rd ... Esher. 



Those to Loughton and Boxhill were very successful, some 

 valuable captures being made. 



Another interesting feature this year was the opening 

 meeting in this room, it being the occasion of an Exhibition 

 which all who were present will remember with pleasure. We 

 must here thank the Members of the South London Micro- 

 scopical and Natural History Club, who so kindly exhibited 

 microscopical preparations relating to entomology, and so 

 contributed greatly to the success of the Meeting. A report 

 of the exhibition appeared in the " Entomologist," the " Ento- 

 mologist's Monthly Magazine," and the " South London 

 Press." We must not forget the "Annual Pocket Box Ex- 

 hibition of Insects " on Nov. 20th, at which a great number 

 of rare species of Lepidoptera and Coleoptera, and other orders, 

 were exhibited.
