we feel that, as entomologist we have special i ason to be interested in the 

 fortunes of your Academy, .since we understand that for many years our favorit. 

 branch of natural science has n<, ived from it no small share of valuable en- 



couragement and support; that in 1875 our sister society, first known as Th. 

 Entomological Society of Philadelphia, received permission to is>emhlt» under 

 your hospitable roof; and that subsequently it became incorporated as a Section 



of the Academv itself. 



In all sincerity, and 



mere formal compliment, wean glad to offer 



this tribute to our gratitude, respect, and good will, and to exprc* the hope thai 

 the future of your Academy may be a u. oful and as honorable as its past.
