MEETINGS OF SECTIONS. 
ENTOMOLOGICAL SECTION. 
Tuesday, January 8th, 1867. — Mr. Stephen Barton, President 
of the Section, in the chair, 
It having been proposed that if possible the night of meeting should be 
changed, a conversation ensued on the subject, but since it was found that the 
present evening of meeting appeared quite as convenient to the majority of 
members as any other that could be named (if not more so) it was deter- 
mined that no alteration should be made. 
This being the annual meeting of the Section, the members present, in 
accordance with the rules, proceeded to elect a President and a Secretary 
for the ensuing year. 
Mr. Stephen Barton was re-elected President, and Mr. George

The accounts having been audited, it was found that there was a small 
balance due to the Treasurer. 
Mr. A. E. Hudd exhibited a box containing Aeentropus niveosalis, a 
singular Lepidopterous insect. The larva of this species was aquatic, feeding 
under water on Potamogeton pectinatus, and forming a cocoon of short 
pieces of its food-plant woven with silk. The box also contained Crambus 
Paludellus, from Kanworth fens, and Cnephasia cinctana, a species first 
taken in England in 1857, near Dover, by the Rev. S. C. T. Beale, which 
had since been met with in two or three localities near London. 
The President said that his remarks on Mr. Napier's paper were in- 
correctly reported at page 91 of the Proceedings. The words " larvae " 
and " perfect moth " had been transposed, thus conveying exactly the op- 
posite idea of what he really said. 
CHEMICAL AND PHOTOGRAPHIC SECTION. 
Wednesday, January 9th, 1867. — Mr. P. J. Worsley, F.C.S., 
President of the Section, in the Chair. 
This being the annual meeting, the Secretary made a few remarks on 
the state of the Section. In I860 three members had resigned, and three 
new members had joined. Some few so-called members never attended or 
paid their subscriptions. The audited accounts showed a balance in hand,
