120 The Ottawa Naturalist. [Oct. 



Much work, however, is yet to be done, before such a list could 

 be presented. The Caddis-flies, Stone-flies and May-flies are not 

 by any means well known and an interesting field is here awaiting 

 investigation. 



During the year several meetings of the Branch were held 

 at the houses of some of the members. These were most enjoy- 

 able, many specimens being brought for examination and short 

 papers on various subjects presented. 



The Branch was glad to welcome to Ottawa Dr. C. Gordon 

 Hewitt, who succeeded our late co-worker, Dr. Fletcher, as 

 Dominion Entomologist. 



Among the many insects collected in the district during the 

 year, the species mentioned below are of special interest. As 

 stated above, considerable work is yet to be done in getting 

 much of the material taken during the year accurately de- 

 termined. As the species are worked out, mention of the more 

 interesting will be made in the annual Entomological Record, 

 prepared by Mr. Gibson, and published in the Annual Renorts of 

 the Entomological Society of Ontario.

Ampelophaga versicolor Harris. This rare species was col- 

 lected near Britannia on July 26th (Baldwin)

 common occurrence in the district. Two specimens were taken 

 near Britannia, one on July 9th and another on July 22nd

Ennomos suhsignarius Hbn. Another visitation of these
