HIS SOCIETY was founded in 1858 under the title of the 
JL “ Haggerston Entomological Society,” and has striven, for 
nearly half a century, to diffuse the knowledge of Natural History, 
particularly of Entomology. It has taken an active part in the 
preservation of Epping Forest and other similar movements for the 
public good, and also in the suitable housing of the famous “ Double¬ 
day Collection ” of Lepidoptera. Its own particular work includes 
the reading of papers, discussions, and exhibitions, and a special 
feature of recent years has been the compilation of a London Fauna 
List, now being published in the Transactions. 
The meetings are held on the first and third Tuesdays 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 ; the Meeting- 
room is exception ally comfortable and well lighted, and no effort is 
spared to make the evenings pleasant and profitable. An annual 
Summer Excursion is arranged by the Society, and occasional Con¬ 
versazioni. Visitors are welcomed to all the meetings. 
There is a good library, containing, amongst other works, the 
“ Zoologist,” “Entomologist,” “Entomologist’s Monthly Magazine,” 
Ac., from their commencement, and also reference collections of 
Lepidoptera and Coleoptera, to which it is hoped other Orders may be 
added from time to time. 
The entrance Fee is Two Shillings and Sixpence, and the Annual 
Subscription Seven Shillings and Sixpence, payable in advance, both 
being purposely kept low in order that all may avail themselves of the 
benefits the Society offers. The Society therefore looks with con¬ 
fidence 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. 
Further information may be obtained from either of the Hon. 
Secretaries. «
