Committee's Report, December 7, 1870. — " Gentlemen, — Your Committee, in presenting 

 their Report, congratulate the members on the progress of the Society since the last Report. 

 You have made four new members during the last quarter. Your finances show, by the 

 Auditors' balance-sheet, a balance in hand of ^'2 Vds., and no outstanding debts. Your 

 Library continues to increase satisfactorily ; it now contains about sixty volumes on 

 Entomology and the Natur^ Sciences. Your Cabinet is now very useful to its members, 

 and, as many presents are continually being made, and upwards of £b has been expended 

 in little more than one year, we would not advise more purchases at present. We think 

 the papers read during the quarter, particularly that by Mr. HaU on the successful rearing 

 of Yama-Mai, and tbat by Mr. Goosey on Myrmica domestica, highly creditable to the 

 authors. We think that it is one of tlie most important tilings in connexion with the 

 Society ; and we urge upon the members to read papers, as the best means they can adopt 

 to make the Society useful to themselves and to Science."
