ACCOMMODATION FOR THE ENTO- 
MOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 
To the Editor of the ‘Intelligencer.' 
Sir,— In your paper read before the 
Anniversary Meeting mention was made 
of the inconvenience and' frequent head- 
ache experienced by the members of the 
Entomological Society, in consequence 
of the insufficient size of the room ap- 
pointed for their meetings, and the 
increasing number of the attending 
members. I have not heard any com- 
plaints made of the insufficient accom- 
modation of the Society’s rooms for their 
books, cabinets, &c., but only those 
respecting the nights of the Society’s 
meetings, which occur thirteen times in 
the year. 
I believe that on three nights in every 
week the South Kensington Museum is 
open gratuitously to any Society ; I should 
propose, therefore, that the Society’s 
rooms remain at Bedford Row, but that 
the meetings should be held in the 
South Kensington Museum, where there 
is ample accomodation for every entomo- 
logist in Great Britain, and far greater 
attractions to catch stray country 
members, who now seldom, if ever, look 
us in the face. 
This plan will doubtless meet with 
objections from those who live near Bed- 
ford Row, and therefore I hope you who 
live far off will advocate the scheme. It 
has its objections I grant, but it is much 
less objectionable than the present 
scheme. 
Yours, &c. 
A. Wallace, M.B.

HAGGERSTONE ENTOMOLOGICAL 
SOCIETY. 
We understand the first anuual supper 
of the above Society took place on 
Wednesday, January 25, 1860, when 
nearly forty members and their friends 
sat down to an excellent repast, provided 
by their worthy host Mr. Finch ; and, 
after ample justice was done it, the 
toasts, &c., usual on such an occasion, 
followed, and the meeting broke up, all 
present expressing themselves much 
pleased with the pleasant evening they 
had passed. 
It is now little more than eighteen 
months since this Society was first esta- 
blished, yet it already numbers more 
than sixty members. The meetings are 
well attended. Two papers have lately 
been read, one of which has appeared 
in the ‘Zoologist.’ Many rare spe- 
cies have been exhibited, and a collec- 
tion of various orders is in course of 
formation.
