TORONTO BRANCH OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY 



OF ONTARIO. 



The fifth annual meeting of the Toronto branch of the Entomological 

 Society of Ontario was held on Friday evening, April 6th, in the Education 

 Department. The chair was occupied by the Vice-President, Mr. E. M. 

 Walker, and there was a good attendance of members. Four new names 

 were proposed for membership. The President, Mr. Arthur Gibson, owing 

 to his duties as assistant in the Division of Entomology at the Central 

 Experimental Farm, Ottawa, was unable to be present, but sent his 

 address. The report of the Council showed that the Branch had had 

 a very successful year, fifteen meetings being held and a number of 

 interesting papers contributed. Members of the Montreal Branch were 

 thanked for the courteous exchange of papers with the Toronto Branch. 

 The reports of the Librarian and Treasurer also showed the continued 

 prosperity of the Branch. These reports, on motion, were received 

 and adopted. The following ofticers were elected for the ensuing year : — 

 D. G. Cox, President ; E. M. Walker, Vice-President ; G. M. Stewart, 

 Secy. -Treasurer ; H. C Austen, Librarian ; and R. J. Crew and C. H. 

 Tyers, members of Council. The address of the retiring President 

 was read by the Chairman, and reviewed the work of the Branch 

 since its inception, particular mention being made of the year just ended. 

 The members were urged to make extra efforts the coming summer to 

 collect and mount specimens for the collection which the Branch is form- 

 ing for the Education Department. The latter portion of the address 

 took the form of a practical, illustrated paper on " The Preservation of 

 Larvae by Inflation."
