80 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



services of so eminently capable an entomologist, we trust that Mr. Smith 

 will find his new work congenial and satisfactory, and its accessories, 

 lucrative and comfortable. 



The following amendment has been made to the Agriculture and Arts 

 Act during the recent session of the Ontario Legislature: — "Section 67 

 of the said Act is amended by adding thereto, after sub-section (2), the 

 following : ' Provided, however, that the Entomological Society of Ontario 

 shall, at its annual meeting, group into five divisions the agricultural 

 divisions enumerated in Schedule A. to this Act, and shall elect one person 

 from each of such five divisions (who shall be a resident of the division 

 he represents) as directors of the said Society.' " 



The New York Academy of Sciences is making an effort to erect a 

 suitable monument in Trinity Church-yard in memory of the great 

 ornithologist, John James Audubon. About $900 has been collected, but 

 the plans accepted call for from $6,000 to $10,000. It is earnestly hoped 

 that each scientific society in America will contribute an average amount 

 of $100 through its members, and thus enable the enterj)rise to be at once 

 completed. Each subscriber of a dollar or more will receive a copy of a 

 print from Cruickshank's celebrated portrait of the great naturalist suitable 

 for framing. Remittances from our members may be sent to Mr. W. E. 

 Saunders, 240 Central Ave., London ; or to Dr. N. L. Britton, Columbia 

 College, New York.
