MEETINGS OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL BRANCH. 



December 17th, 1908. Meeting held at the residence of 

 Mr. W. H. Harrington. Present: Messrs. Halkett, Groh, Baldwin, 

 Gibson, Young, Wilson, Eifrig, MacLaughlin, Harrington (in the 

 chair), and Master G. Eifrig. 



On opening the meeting the Chairman referred to the great 

 loss which the Entomological Branch, in the death of Dr. James 

 Fletcher, had sustained. He spoke of his remarkable knowledge 

 of all things concerning insects, and how much he would be missed 

 by all the members of the Branch, by all of whom he was much

 Entomological News, Le Naturalist Canadien, and the Journal 

 of Economic Entomology, all of which had full obituary notices, 

 were shown by Mr. Harrington, and read by those present. The 

 Chairman also referred to the death of Dr. William Ashmead, 

 of the United States National Museum, and showed his photo- 

 graph. Dr. Ashmead was one of the leading scientific entomo- 

 logists of North America, being the highest authority on the 

 large order, the Hymenoptera. Mr. Harrington also showed 

 Fascicule No. 62 of Genera Insectorum, on the subfamily
