The First Annual Report of the Eastern 
Entomological Society- 
The following is the First Annual 
Address to the Members of this 
Society ; and we have great pleasure 
in laying it before our readers, 
shewing, as it does, promise of 
future developement, and evincing 
a thorough and genuine desire on 
the part of the Acting Committee 
and others to promote the Science. 
Gentlemen, 
“ Your Committee, in presenting 
this, their first Report, beg leave to 
congratulate you on the Society’s 
successful and permanent establish- 
ment. This being the first year of 
the Society’s operations, they hope 
it will be considered in its infancy, 
and that every year it will grow in 
usefulness, numbers, and importance, 
until it is second to no Branch 
Society in the Kingdom. 
“ During the past year the Society 
has held regular weekly meetings, 
at which many and various captures 
have been exhibited, and several 
papers have been read by Mr. Thorn, 
(the founder of the Society) on the 
various localities, food, and times of 
appearance of various species of 
Lepidoptera; also by Mr. Killing- 
back, Mr. Reynolds, and Mr. Farn- 
WORTH, on different species of insects. 
“ Your Society have also had two 
Public Suppers and one Excursion, 
which, although they have added 
nothing to the Funds of the Society, 
have increased the friendship, better 
knowledge, and understanding of 
the Members, one with another. 
“ Your Committee, with the con- 
sent of the Members and the Funds 
at their disposal, have bought the 
most useful books for the use of the 
Members, viz: — Stainton’s ‘Manual ’ 
‘ Kirby & Spence,’ ‘ Morris’s Moths,’ 
the 1 Annual,’ and sundry other 
works. They have also ordered a 
Bookcase for the Library, Desk for 
the Secretary, &c. 
“In looking to the future, they 
hope no time will be lost in obtain- 
ing a Cabinet, as the Box, now in 
possession of the Society is useless, 
and many Members have promised 
Insects when there is a Cabinet to 
keep them in. In regard to funds 
for a Cabinet, your Committee would 
suggest that, as soon as possible 
your Society should hold a con- 
versazione, of all the Members and 
Friends of the Society; the funds 
arising from which, should form a 
nucleus towards the Cabinet only. 
“ Your Committee would also im- 
press upon the Members generally, 
the importance of having a Weekly 
Reading of some Paper by a Mem- 
ber (either original or extracted) on 
any subject calculated either to 
instruct or amuse the Members 
generally, such as Collecting, Breed- 
ing; Pinning, Setting, Botany, 
Digging for Pupce , Preserving, &c. 
“ Your Committee would also 
suggest that any Member reading
