Trir to Como. 
Decemper.—The December excursion to Como turned out a 
veritable frost. Whether the unfortunate fact that Mr. Water- 
house could not lead was responsible, or whether members 
thought it too hot to face the train journey, I know not, but 
only four members turned out of the train to greet the hon. 
secretary at Como. We waited one train more to see if any 
belated members would arrive, but were disappointed, and had 
to face the excursion by ourselves. Hntomological material 
was plentiful, but unfortunately, there were no’ entomologists in 
the party, which, as three-fifths of it had come purposely to 
glean some entomoligical knowledge, was distinctly unfortunate. 
Your hon. secretary, safe from contradiction, did his best to 
explain what came along, but his imagination failed him 
several times at the crucial moment. However, we found 
some Christmas bush, some fine bells, and some flannel flowers, 
and boiled a billy in a shady glen, and returned to the station 
almost satisfied with what had promised to be a far from pro- 
fitable afternoon.
