THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 35T 



THE BOSTON MEETING OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL 

 SOCIETY OF AMERICA. 



Taking advantage of a time and place when many entomologists and 

 other zoologists would be gathered together to attend the Seventh Inter- 

 national Zoological Congress, and to supplement for those interested in 

 entomology, the very interesting session of that Congress, a meeting of the 

 Entomological Society of America was held in Boston during the week 

 commencing August 19th. 



On Tuesday afternoon, August 20, about 50 members of the Society, 

 as guests of Mr. A. H. Kirkla.nd, were taken in special cars to Saugus, 

 where they were shown the details of the campaign against the Gypsy and 

 Brown-tail moths. The operations directed towards the control of these 

 pests by means of the importation of parasites were of especial interest.

 Boston Society of Natural History, at which the following 53 persons
