revision of the society's printed lists of insects. 



On the motion of Rev. C. J. S. Bethune, duly carried, it was resolved 

 that the Society should, as soon as possible, publish a Revised List of the 

 Canadian Diurnals, adopting as a basis the list and classification of Mr. 

 W, H. Edwards, of West Virginia ; and that the Society should also pub- 

 lish additional lists of such moths as have been found to be Canadian, and 

 are not contained in the Society's existing lists. 



In view of the desirability of the publication of the descriptions of 

 hitherto undescribed larvae, and with a view to aid therein, the President, 

 Vice-President, Rev. C. J. S. Bethune and W. H. Harrington were 

 appointed a committee to prepare blank forms for the use of members in 

 describing larva; : the Society being of the opinion that following the 

 practice of Westwood and Stainton, the body should be considered as 

 consisting of thirteen segments, the head being the first. 



The Rev. T. W. Fyles then read an interesting paper on " Observa- 

 tions on Form and Color as Exhibited in Insect Life." 



A. A. A. s.

 logical Club of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, 

 held at Minneapolis in August last, which he attended as the representa- 

 tive of the Entomological Society of Ontario.
