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, among other works, complete sets of the 
‘Zoologist’ (1843—1892), ‘Entomologist’ (Vols. 1—25), and the 
‘Entomologist’s Monthly Magazine’ (Vols. 1—28). There is also 
a fine collection of British Lepidoptera, and collections of other 
orders are now in course of formation. 
The meetings take place on the first and third Tuesdays in 
each month, from 7.30 to 9.30 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 genera of insects, &c. 
The Entrance Fee is Two Shillings, and the Annual Sub¬ 
scription Five Shillings, payable in advance, both being purposelv 
kept low in order that all may avail themselves of the benefits the 
Society offers. 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 on 
the night that they are proposed. 
Further information may be obtained from either of the 
Hon. Secretaries.
