himself for teaching or investigational work. Thus, the meetings of the 

 Society are of great value to the College students, as well as to all the 

 members. Throughout the entire year great interest was taken in the 

 meetings by all the members, and the prospects of future meetings are 

 bright, as the success of each year stimulates the members to greater efforts 

 for the next. 



Some idea of the instructive, comprehensive and highly scientific 

 nature of the work undertakon by the members of the Society during the 

 past year may be gained from the following list of papers read : 



" The Sorghum Midge in Louisiana," by R. C. Treheme (4th-year 

 student). 



'' A Classification of Muscoidean Flies," by W. R. Thompson (4th- 

 year student). 



" Rearing Pomace Flies, by K. \V. Stafford (4th-year student). 



" Suggestions for Field Inspection," by R. C. Treherne (4th-year 

 student). 



" Notes on Eriophyidae," by J. Tothill (^id-year student). 



" Memoir of the late Dr. Fletcher,'' by Dr. C. J. S. Bethune ( Pro- 

 fessor of Entomology) 



"Some Notes on Mites,'' by T. D. Tarvis (Lecturer in Entomology). 



" The Chalcidid Subfamily Encyrtineae," by Alfred Fastham (4111- 

 year student). 



•' Remarks on the External Anatomy of Chalcids," by A. C. Baker 

 (2nd-year student).

 Cutler (4th-year student). 



" Spiders," by Dr. C J. S. Bethune. 



" Injurious Insects of the Season," by L. Caesar (Demonstrator in 

 Entomology). 



While ail the above papers were of a high order of excellency, the 

 systematic papers by Messrs. Thompson, Eastham, Baker and Tothill are 

 especially worthy of commendation, as they were the outcome of original 

 and thoroughly scientific investigations. 



The " Memoir of the late Dr. Fletcher" was given by Dr. Bethune at 

 the special request of the members of the Society, who felt that they would 

 like to be brought into closer touch with the life of their much lamented 

 President, by one who had been his co-worker and intimate friend for so 

 many years. It is needless to say that their desire was fulfilled in a kindly 

 and sympathetic manner. J. E. Howitt, Sec.-Treas.
