1. THE minutes of the twentieth general meetingt were approved. Mr. Chamberlain observed that all the members of the Committee would no doubt wish to record formally their regret that the Earl of Cromer had been obliged to resign the Chairmanship of the Committee, and to express their appreciation of his services. The following resolution, moved by Dr. Shipley and seconded by Mr. Read, was passed :--
'The Managing Committee of the Imperial Bureau of Entomology wish
to place on record their deep regret that the Earl of Cromer has been con- pelled through ill-health to resign the Chairmanship of the Committee.
"They are very sensible of the unfailing interest which his Lordship has taken in the work of the Bureau, and they will always remember with pleasure the cordial relations which have existed between the late Chairman and the Committee.
