ANNUAL MEETING. 
January 15th, 1896. 
Professor Raphael Meldola, F.R.S., F.C.S., President, in 
the Chair. 
Mr. Albert Hugh Jones, one of the Auditors, read the 
Treasurer's Balance Sheet, showing a balance in the Society's 
favour of £12 14s. 7d. 
Mr. H. Goss, one of the Secretaries, read the following 
Report of the Council. 
During the Session 1895-96, one Honorary and five 
Ordinary Fellows have died, viz., Professor Charles Valentine 
Riley, Mr. J. M. Adye, Professor Charles C. Babington, F.R.S. 
(the last but one of the original members), M. Emile 
Louis Ragonot (President of the Entomological Society of 
France), Major John Nathaniel Still, and Mr. Lyddon 
Surrage ; nine Fellows have resigned ; two have been 
removed from the list ; and twenty-one Ordinary and two 
Honorary Fellows have been elected. 
The number of Fellows elected during the year is some- 
what below the average, notwithstanding the successful 
efforts of one or two Fellows of the Society to add to its 
numbers. The majority of the twenty- one Ordinary Fellows 
elected during the year have been obtained by the exertions 
of one or two individuals, and the Council takes this oppor- 
tunity of expressing its gratification at the interest shown in 
adding to the Society's list of Fellows. 
At the present time, the Society consists of 10 Honorary, 
53 Life, and 324 Fellows liable for the Annual Subscription, 
making the total number now on the list 387, which, after 
allowing for the losses by deaths, resignations, and 
exclusions, is an increase of 6 since the Annual Meeting 
of last year.
