Ohituaiy. 

 Mr. J. C. Young, the Subscriber above referred to, was only elected 

 in 1860. He was, I believe, a young Coleopterist, but his name is not 

 found in the List of Entomologists published in the ' Annual ' in 1859 ; 

 as far as I am aware he had not published anything, and was per- 

 sonally unknown to me, and 1 am unable to say more respecting him 

 than that he died during the last year. 



One entomologist, not a Member of this Society, M. Bruand 

 d'Uzelle, of Besangon, in France, died on the 3rd of August, 1861. 

 His chief work was the ' Monographic des Psychides ; ' Besan^on, 

 18.53. His friend, M. Milliere, has been requested to furnish the 

 Entomological Society of France with a memoir of his life and 

 works. 



Library and Collections. 



During the past year the Library has been enriched by donations of 

 valuable books, which have been duly announced at the Monthly 

 Meetings ; and now that the publication of the Catalogue of the 

 Library informs us exactly of what works we possess, I trust that some 

 of the standard works still wanting may be supplied by the donation — 

 by such of the members as possess duplicate copies — of any of them. 

 And as there are some works, chiefly modern, which probably can 

 only be obtained by purchase of the booksellers, and we have a fund 

 specially set apart for this purpose, the Council will be happy 

 to learn from time to time what are the works the Members consider 

 it desirable the Society should procure. 



The Council have had under their careful consideration the un- 

 satisfactory state of the Collections, but the very recent date when this 

 matter was brought under their notice has rendered it necessary to 

 postpone, for the decision of the new Council, the action requisite to 

 put the Collections into a proper condition. 



The Society'' s Apartments. 



At the last Anniversary Meeting I announced that the Council had 

 determined to remove the Society's place of meeting to other and
