 N out he en Entomological Society. 



December 21, 1861. — The meeting took place at the residence of James Linton, 

 Esq., 6, Trafford Mouut, Old Trafford, Manchester. C. S. Geegson, Esq., President, 

 in the chair. 



Elections. 



The President called attention to the advisability of electing his successor at the 

 present meeting, rather than to elect him at the next meeting, when, whoever the duty 

 fell upon, he could scarcely be expected to be in a position to deliver an address at a 

 moment's notice. 



The question was discussed, put and carried without a dissentient. 



Nicholas Cooke, Esq., was elected President, and G. H. Wilkinson, Esq., was 

 re-elected Secretary. 



The Rev. Joseph Greene, Cubley Rectory, Derbyshire, was elected a Member. 



Photography applicable to Entomology. 



Mr. Greening introduced the subject of photography as applicable to entomo- 

 logical purposes, illustrating his remarks by exhibiting a photograph of a variety of 

 Abraxas grossulariata from the President's collection, executed by Helsby & Co., 

 Church Street, Liverpool.
