attended all previous attempts of a similar nature. Upwards 

 of sevent}' members and friends were present, and the 

 exhibits were extensive, varied, and interesting. 



Seven Papers, live Lantern Demonstrations, accompanied 

 by explanatory notes, and extended Reports of the five Field 

 Meetings have been contributed to the Society, of which 

 contributions the following eleven Members were the 

 authors : — Mr. R. x\dkin, three ; Dr. Chapman and Mr. W. 

 J. Lucas, two each ; Mr. E. B. Bishop, Mr. F. N. Clark, 

 Mr. Stanley Edw^ards, Mr. F. Enock, Mr. H. S. Fremlin, 

 Mr. E. Step, Mr. H. J. Turner, and Mr. J. W. Tutt, 

 one each. Two of the series of lantern slides exhibited 

 were kindly lent by the South Eastern Union of Scientific 

 Societies and the Society for the Protection of Birds. Five 

 of the Papers dealt with Lepidoptera, two with Botany, one 

 with Ornithology, one with Orthoptera, one with Bacteria, 

 and two with General Natural History. The Reports of 

 Field Meetings, in addition to General Descriptive Matter, 

 contained Lists of the Species noted in the various Orders, 

 and were thus of more than passing interest. The Council 

 desire to tender their most hearty thanks to the Authors 

 of the Papers, and to all those who have in other ways 

 rendered much valuable assistance in connection with the 

 various matters above referred to.

Two of the localities selected, viz. Chipstead and Paul's

 programme may be the means of introducing members to 

 districts that may prove profitable for future work. The
