160 THE ESSEX NATURALIST of Mr E. B. Pinniger and two issues of the Bulletin were edited by Mr R. Cowlin and Mr R. Allen. Our thanks to all who contributed Papers and Articles. The Council would like to thank all those who have contributed to our activities during 1974, especially to those who have led Meetings, helped with Displays, contributed to the Publications and supported the Meetings. Not to forget the good ladies who provided the refreshments at the indoor meetings and those gentlemen who at times did the washing up.
