Neuroptera and PsEiTDONEUROPTERA. The work of collecting 

 in these orders was vigorously kept up during the whole collecting 

 season by several members of the Club with gratifying, results. Many 

 beautiful specimens of known species of both orders were taken. The 

 insects belonging to Pseudoneuroj)tera were more largely represented, 

 especially of the families Odonata, or Dragonflies, and Ephemerina, both 

 of which were unusually abundant during the past summer. The full 

 extent of the work accomplished will not be definitely known until a 

 few of the rarer and more difficult species Lave been worked up. 

 It is quite evident, however, that valuable additions have been made 

 to the Canadian lists and that some of the insects now in hand will 

 have to be described for the first time. Much greater difficulty is 

 experienced in working up these insects than is the cas6 with those of 

 several other orders of Entomology, owing to the want of monographic 

 descriptions, while the fragile nature of some of the specimens rendora 

 it very difficult to transmit them by mail.
