T HIS SOCIETY has for its object the diffusion of the science of 
Natural History, by means of papers, discussions, exhibitions, 
and the formation of collections for reference. Since its 
commencement in 1858, a valuable and useful Library has been 
formed, which comprises, amongst other works, sets of the “Zoologist’ 
(1843—1895), “Entomologist” (Vols. 1—38), “Entomologist’s 
Monthly Magazine” (Vols. 1—40), and the “Entomologist’s Record 
and Journal of Variation (Vols. 1—16). There is also ;» ’ollection of 
British Lepidoptera, and collections of other orders are no,, in course 
of formation. 
The meetings take place on the first and third Tuesdays in each 
month, except July and August, from 7.30 to 10 p.m., at the London 
Institution, Finsbury Circus, E.C., which is easily accessible from all 
parts. Exhibits are made at every meeting, and papers read on 
various Natural History Subjects, a special feature being the 
systematic discussion and exhibition of interesting groups of 
insects, etc. 
The Entrance Fee is Two Shillings and Sixpence, and the Annual 
Subscription Seven Shillings and Sixpence, payable in advance, being 
fixed at as moderate a sum as is possible, consistent with the proper 
maintenance of the Society and its work, in order that all may avail 
themselves of the benefits offered. The Society therefore looks with 
confidence for the support of all who are interested in the study of 
Natural History. 
The year commences on the first Tuesday in December, but 
intending members may join at any time, the ballot being taken at 
the next ordinary meeting after that on which they are proposed. 
Further information may be obtained from the corresponding 
Secretary.
