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 comme ce¬ 
ment in 1858, a valuable and useful Library has been formed, 
which comprises, amongst other works, sets of the “ Zoologist. 
(1848 —1697), “Entomologist,” (Vols. 1—87), “Entomologists Monthly 
Magazine,” (Vols. 1—39), and the Entomologist’s Record and Journal 
of Variation,” (Vols. 1—16). There is also a collection of British 
Lepidoptera, and collections of other orders are uow 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 insets, 
&c. 
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.
