THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 235 



On motion the report was received, and Mr. Mann moved its adoption, 

 Mr. Riley objected on business considerations, and detailed at some 

 length the obstacles in the way of preparing and publishing a manual like 

 that suggested. No definite plan had been presented, and the adoption 

 of the report and an attempt made to carry it out might involve the Club 

 in great difficulties. 



Mr. Smith from the committee explained that all these difficulties had 

 been realized by them, and hence, while their report was favourable, they 

 had intentionally omitted any definite suggestions of a business character, 

 realizing that this required much more time than they had, for considera- 

 tion. 



Mr. Osborn explained his views on the subject, and urged the neces- 

 sity of a manual. 



Mr. Mann thought such a manual must be prepared eventually, and 

 that, with the backing of the Club, and with an array of names such as 

 that proposed, no difficulty should be found in getting a publisher. 



Mr. Riley suggested that the report be divided, and moved that the 

 first recommendation of the committee, concerning an international 

 meeting, be adopted. Carried. 



Mr. Howard moved that the balance of the report be recommitted to 

 the same committee, with instructions to report a well digested scheme 

 one year hence. 



Mr. Mann moved that a committee of three be appointed by the 

 President under the first recommendation on an international meeting. 



This was carried, and the President reserved the selection of the 

 committee. 



The President afterwards named Messrs. Kellicott, Howard and 

 Fletcher. 



At the request of Mr. Fletcher the official minutes of the Club were 

 ordered to be printed in the Canadian Entomologist. 



The following was then presented by the author : —
