Abstract
THE hundred and fourth annual general meeting of the Ray Society was held on March 17. It was announced that Pennant‘s "Tour on the Continent 1765", edited by Prof. G. R. de Beer, would be published shortly as part of the issue to members for 1947, and other volumes relating to the British fauna and flora are in active preparation, including Prof. Berrill‘s work on the Tunicates, Mr. Danny‘s volume on British vice-counties, Messrs. Locket and Millidge‘s "British Spiders", the late Prof. W. M. Tatter-sail‘s monograph on the Mysidacea, and a second volume of Prof. Balfour-Browne‘s "British Water Beetles". The greatly increased cost of printing is likely seriously to hamper the activities of the Society, and an urgent appeal is made for new subscribers—both institutions and individuals. Prof. G. R. de Beer, Mr. A. C. Townsend and Dr. Errol White were re-elected president, honorary treasurer and honorary secretary respectively ; Capt. C. Diver and Dr. W. S. Bristowe Were elected vice-presidents and Dr. Malcolm Smith, Dr. John Hutchinson, Major Maxwell Knight and Dr. Ethelwynn Trewavas new members of council.
