express to them the regret that I feel in finding my connection of more 
than twenty years with the Society, closed by the amalgamation that has 
been arranged to take place at the end of the year ; that such amalga¬ 
mation is for the good of the Society and of all active naturalists 
connected therewith I have no doubt, but for myself, whose interest in 
the Society’s affairs has outlived the active interest in entomology, 
which originally drew me thereto, it means a complete severance. 
I am deeply grateful to all members for the invariable courtesy 
and consideration shown me during the several years that I have acted, 
first as secretary and then as treasurer, and for the generosity which 
has prompted them to express, in concrete form, their appreciation of 
such success as I have achieved, and their forgiveness of my short¬ 
comings in those offices.
