Abstract
THE third International Congress of Entomology, held at Zurich on July 19-26, was attended by about 200 representative entomologists and about 50 guests including 40 ladies. The Congress proved a great success. More nations were represented than at Brussels or Oxford, and it was a matter of regret that France, Italy and Belgium were not officially represented. One is glad to add, however, that the rate of exchange unfavourable to these countries was a contributory cause to the absence of men who will be welcomed at the next conference three years hence. During the Congress, members had opportunity of examining the fine collections in the adjoining Entomological Institute and the University Zoological Museum, as also the collection of Prof. Standfuss and the palæarctic collection of Dr. Corti. The Concilium Bibliographicum also received its quota of admiring visitors.
