235 Species of Coleoptera. 



Duplicates of many of these have been received, swelling the whole number 

 receiyed to 1480 specimens. Most of these duplicates will be used for effecting 

 «xchanges, and thus will ultimately go to increase the collection in the refer- 

 ence cabinet.

 Curator. 



The Council, in conclusion, desire t© express their regret, that the Institute 

 ■was deprived, during the latter part of the year, of the valuable assistance of 

 their Eecording Secretary, Patrick Freeland, Esq. Serious illness compelled 

 him to resign the office, which he had so efficiently occupied. The Council 

 sincerely trust that restorsd health may permit him again to take part in the 

 Society's proceedings. The duties of the vacant office were kindly undertaken 

 by the Corresponding Secretary, Dr. Morris.
