FIFTY-SECOND ANNUAL MEETING OF THE ENTOMO- 

 LOGICAL SOCIETY OF ONTARIO; 



This was undoubtedly the most successful meeting of the 

 Society that has ever taken place. It was held at Ottawa in the 

 large laboratory of the Entomological Branch of the Department 

 of Agriculture on Thursday and Friday, November 4 and 5, 1915, 

 and the President, Dr. C. Gordon Hewitt, Dominion Entomolo- 

 gist, occupied the chair. Throughout the entire sessions the 

 closest interest was evinced in the papers presented, most of which 

 were of decided importance to farmers, horticulturists and others 

 interested in agriculture and forestry. Valuable discussions 

 followed the presentation of many of the papers. Entomologists 

 from nearly every province in Canada were in attendance, as well 

 as visitors from the United States. Among those who were present
