It contains seven papers, covering a very wide range of subjects, including taxonomic studies on Diptera (B. de Meillon, H. K. Munro), the biology of a nestliving Sarcophagid (A. Cuthbertson), studies of now Thysanoptera (C. Jacot-Guillarmod), descriptions of South African moths (A. J. T. Janse), the control of temperature and humidity in small cabinets (M. N. S. Immelman) and finally on the general classification of insects (J. Omer-Cooper). The journal is excellently printed and illustrated, and the first volume, including also index, obituary notices and list of members of the Society, extends to 163 pages.
