The Forty-second Annual Meeting of the Entomological Society of 

 Ontario will be held, by kind invitation of President Creelman, at the On- 

 tario Agricultural College, Guelph, on Wednesday and Thursday, October 

 1 8th and 19th. 



In reply to numerous enquiries, we beg to say that the Annual Report 

 of our Society for 1904 was presented to the Legislature of Ontario at the 

 beginning of last session, and for some months has been in the hands of 

 the King's Printer in Toronto. Eight weeks ago the galley proofs were 

 corrected, but the completion of the work is still most unaccountably 

 delayed. 



Genera Insectorum, — We are informed by M. P. Wytsman, the 

 publisher (43 Rue St. Alphonse, Brussels, iBelgium), that most of the parts 

 of this work are sold separately, and that a price-list will be furnished on 

 application. 



Mailed July 31st, 1905.
