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 commence¬ 
ment in 1858, a valuable and useful Library has been formed, which 
comprises, amongst other works, complete sets of the “ Zoologist 
(1848-1897), “Entomologist” (Vols. 1-82), “Entomologist’s Monthly 
Magazine ” (Vols. 1-85), and the “ Entomologist’s Record and Journal 
of Variation ” (Vols. 1-10). There is also a collection of British 
Lepidoptera, and collections of other orders are now in course of 
formation. 
The meetings take place on the first and third luesdais in each 
month, from 7.80 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 exhibi¬ 
tion of interesting groups of insects, Ac. 
The entrance Fee is Two Shillings and Sixpence, and the Annual 
Subscription Seven Shillings and Sixpence, payable in advance, both
