 species, amounting to 702 specimens, has not received any 

 support this year from the members, the only addition being 

 about 90 specimens collected by the Curator, making a total of 

 nearly 430 species. 



Our numerical position, we regret to say, is very unsatis-

 struck off during the course of the year, while only three

 Mr. W. West.
