13 
MEETINGS OF SECTIONS. 
ZOOLOGICAL SECTION. 
January 9th, 1868.— Dr. Fripp, President of the Section, in the 
chair. 
The audited cash account for 1867, was read and passed, showing receipts, 
£3 10s. Id. (including a balance of £2 7s. 7d., from 1866), and expen- 
diture, £2 5s. 2d. (including £1 6s. paid for Vol. 1 of "Gunther's 
Zoological Record," which was presented by the section to the Society's 
Library), thus leaving a balance in favour of the section of £1 4s. lid. 
It was unanimously decided to continue the meetings of the section, and 
several papers were promised for the current year. 
Dr. Fripp was re-elected President, and Mr. S. H. Swayne, Secretary of 
the section. 
It was determined to purchase Vol. 2, of " Gunther's Zoological Record," 
for the Society's Library. 
ENTOMOLOGICAL SECTION. 
January 14th, 1868.— Mr. S. Barton, President, in the chair. 
After the minutes of the last meeting had been read, the Treasurer's 
account for the past year was audited and presented. This showed a small 
balance due to the Treasurer, but it was explained that one or two sub- 
scriptions were still out-standing, which, when collected, would nearly 
cover the adverse balance. The accounts having been agreed to, the 
members present proceeded to elect a President and Secretary for the 
ensuing year. The retiring officers were re-elected, with votes of thanks 
for past services. It was resolved that the two magazines for 1867, should 
be bound for presentation to the Society's Library.
