15 J: THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



keep its material and hold its meetings in the " Mechanics' Institute" of this 

 city now in course of reconstruction. Nothing definite has yet been done in 

 the matter, but your committee would heartily recommend any co-operation 

 with the Institute that can be effected without infringing on the distinctive 

 features and objects of our Society. The publication of the " Canadian 

 Entomologist" is still maintained and meets with fair encouragement we 

 believe. We have every reason to hope that the Agricultural Association 

 of Ontario will see fit to continue their grant of $400 to the Parent Society 

 during the coming year. We are glad to learn that under the auspices of 

 the Parent Society a varied and useful report has been prepared on Insects 

 affecting field and fruit crops, and the Association are having it printed and 

 well illustrated with engravings, which they have most liberally provided. 

 In this work, also, the Fruit Growers' Association of Ontario has given most 

 material assistance by a donation of $50 towards engravings. We hope to 

 see these annual reports kept up, and believe that most excellent results may 

 be obtained therefrom by their inducing both Agriculturists and fruit growers 

 to become a little better acquainted with the habits and customs of their 

 insect friends and foes. We would in conclusion again urge upon our 

 members to assist by all means in their power, in procuring for the Society, 

 any information that may be brought to their notice respecting any of the 

 various species of the Insect world. We can assure them it will be most 

 gladly received. We would also remind them, that any contributions to the 

 cabinet will be most welcome.
