 having been noticed in the audience. 



The President, Dr. Hewitt, introduced the lecturer, Prof. J. H. 

 Comstock, of Cornell University, who gave a most interesting and 

 stimulating address on the "Habits of Spiders," a subject upon 

 which there is probably no one more competent to speak. The 

 lantern illustrations, made from Prof. Comstock's own photo- 

 graphs, were extraordinarily fine examples of insect photography. 

 A vote of thanks, proposed by Prof. Lochhead and seconded by 

 Prof. Dearness, was extended to Prof. Comstock for his instructive 

 and entertaining address. After the lecture an informal gathering 

 took place, at which refreshments were served and a pleasant chat 

 enjoyed by the members and visitors. 



On Friday morning the meeting was resumed and continued 

 until late in the afternoon. The Reports of the Council and of 

 the various Officers and Branches of the Society were read and 

 adopted. No Report of the Delegate to the Royal Society was 

 received, owing to the unfortunate death of Mr. Henry H. Lyman, 

 who had been appointed in that capacity. The election of Officers, 

 which then followed, resulted in the re-election of all the officers 

 of the past year, with the exception of the Delegate to the Royal 

 Society, for which Prof. Lochhead was chosen. Two new members 

 were elected — Mr. J. C. Chapais, St. Denis-en-bas, Que., and Rev. 

 Father Leopold, La Trappe, Que.

 in 1914" and "The Work of Henri Fabre," by Prof, W. Lochhead;

Special mention should be made of the great pleasure felt by 

 everyone present in listening to Dr. Fyles' charming paper, which
