56 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



The meetings of the Chib held at St. Louis, Mo,, in August, 1878, are 

 fully reported upon in the Can. Ent. of that year, and, for the first time, 

 an elaborated address by the President, Dr. J. A. Lintner, on the progress 

 of American Entomological Science, is published. 



The same remarks hold true for the Saratoga, N. Y., meeting in 1879 

 (see Can. Ent., pp. 163-177), and for the Boston, Mass., meeting, held 

 in 1880 (see Can. Ent., pp. 161-174). The minutes of the latter meet- 

 ing were also published in the Amer. Efitomol.,'Wo\. III., pp. 272-274, and 

 pp. 284-286. 



For the year 1881 the proceedings of our organization are published 

 in the Can. Ent., pp. 179-189, and pp. 214-216, and in American 

 Naturalist, pp. — , under the heading, " Meeting of the Sub-section of the 



A. A. A. S.," Rev. J. G. Morris being President. 



As a sub-section, the Entomologists of the A. A. A. S. do not seem 

 to have been successful, for I fail to find any record of its meetings in 

 1882, when the A. A. A. S. met at Montreal, Can. 



However, in 1883, when the Association met at Minneapolis, Minn., 

 it was decided to reorganize the Entomological Club. The following 

 officers were promptly elected : President, D. S. Kellicott ; Vice-Presi- 

 dent, Herbert Osborn ; Secretary, O. S. Westcott. A large number of 

 valuable and interesting communications were presented, which are re- 

 corded in Can. Ent. for 1883. 



The 1S84 meeting of the Club, held at Philadejjhia, Pa., was also a 

 very successful one, as is apparent from the full record published in the 

 Can. Ent., pp. 169-179, and pp. 181-186, the Secretary of the Club 

 being Mr. J. H. Smith. 



The minutes of the Ann Arbor, Mich., meeting in 1885 were fully re- 

 l)orted in Vol. I. o'i Entomologica Ainerica}ia,:\r\d for the first time, papers 

 read by members are printed in full in these records. 



In Vol. n. of the same periodical we find published the minutes of 

 the Buffalo, N. Y., meeting, held in August, 1886. In Vol. III. are the 

 minutes of the New York meeting, held in August, 1887. 



In spite of the fact that the Cleveland, O., meeting in 1888 was at- 

 tended by a small number of Entomologists, a large number of valuable 

 papers were read, besides an elaborate address of the President, Mr. John 



B. Smith, all of which is published in Vol. IV. oi Etitoiiio/ogica Americana, 

 while the Can. Ent. also published a full account of the proceedings. 



At the Toronto, Can., meeting of the Association, in 1S89, which was
