These members will be responsible for the lists prepared by them, 

 and such lists will be published under their names. In the preparation 

 of such lists it will be necessary to seek the co-operation and assistance of 

 other specialists and all such assistance will be fully acknowledged. 



The division of the work in the different orders will be systematic 

 rather than according to the geographical regions in which the members 

 may be located ; this will necessitate the co-operation of workers in 

 different regions. 



In the compilation of the catalogue it is intended to index the species 

 on the regular card, catalogue cards 5 in. x 3 in., which will be supplied 

 to the members. A single species will be listed on each card. The card 

 will thus contain the information which it is intended to include in the 

 catalogue. For example, the Spruce Budworm, Tortrix fuviife^-ana 

 Clemens, would be indexed and listed as follows : 

 T. fiimiferana Clemens.

 The catalogue will be published, under the editorship of the writer, 

 by the Geological Survey of Canada, by arrangement with and the consent 

 of the Minister of Mines and the Director of the Survey. It will appear 

 in parts as the different orders, or families, in the case of large families, 

 are completed, and its publication will necessarily extend over a number 

 of years.
