On Thursday morning a meeting of the Council was held in 

 the University Biological Building, at which the report of the pro- 

 ceedings during the past year was drawn up, and several matters 

 relative to the welfare of the society were discussed. A sugges- 

 tion that the next Annual Meeting be held at Ottawa was 

 afterwards put before the General Meeting of the Society 

 and adopted. 



The regular proceedings commenced at 2 p.m. in the Lecture 

 Room of the Royal Canadian Institute, and the interest felt by 

 those present in the varied programme was shown by the lengthy 

 discussions which followed many of the papers. The first order of 

 business was the reading of the Reports of the Directors on the 

 insects of the year. Reports were presented by Mr. A. Gibson, 

 Ottawa; Mr. C. E. Grant, Orillia; Dr. A. Cosens, Toronto; Mr. 

 F. J. A. Morris, Peterborough, and Mr. W. A. Ross, Jordan Har- 

 bour. These Reports contained an unusual number of interesting 

 observations. Dr. Hewitt, the President, then read the Annual 

 Address, which was a very able and complete account of the rise 

 and progress of Applied Entomology in Canada, and will form a 

 most valuable contribution to our literature of the history of 

 Canadian Entomology. Appreciative remarks upon this address 

 were made by Dr. Bethune and Dr. Fyles, after which a valuable 

 Paper on the Insects of the Season in Ontario was presented by 

 Prof. Caesar. Considerable discussion followed this paper, par- 

 ticularly on the work of the Tarnished Plant Bug and other capsids 

 in orchards and nursery stock and the methods for their control. 



On Thursday evening a Public Meeting was held in the 

 Lecture Hall of the University Biological Building, and was well 

 attended, many members of the University staff and that of the
