THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 53 



Another valuable and important work that Mr. Reed performed for 

 the Society was the compilation of a General Index to the first thirteen 

 Annual Reports, 1870-1882, which proved of the greatest use for many- 

 years to the members of the Society and others who had occasion to refer 

 to these publications. 



For some time before he left London, Mr. Reed took a great interest 

 in meteorological observations, and in connection with the Observatory 

 at Toronto established a local station and installed the necessary instru- 

 ments. His anemometer and vanes were placed on the top of the Cathedral 

 tower and connected by wires with his residence on the corner of Park and 

 Queen's Avenues. The work that he thus performed was so accurate and 

 satisfactory that he was selected to take charge of the Pacific Coast Divi- 

 sion of the Dominion Meteorological Service, and since 1890 he has con- 

 tinued to fill the office of Superintendent of the Observatory at Victoria, 

 B. C. Though his time is fully taken up with his official duties, he con- 

 tinues to be interested in Entomology, and is a member of the Britisli 

 Columbia Natural History Society. His many friends will, no doubt, 

 heartily join with us in the wish that he may enjoy the blessings of health 

 and well-being for many a year to come, and retain the vigour and vivacity 

 which have alwavs been his characteristics. C. J. S. B.
