YOL. V. LONDON, ONT., OCTOBER, 1873. No. 10 



EDITORIAL. 



Our readers will observe, from the alteration in our title-page, that a 

 change has been made in the occupant of the Editorial chair of this 

 publication. At the annual general meeting of the Society, held at 

 London on the 25th ult, the Rev. C. J. S. Bethune tendered his resigna- 

 tion of the office of General Editor, and Mr. Wm. Saunders was 

 unanimously elected to take his place. This change of personality will 

 make no difference in the character and management of this journal, 

 except in the direction of improvement in material and greater regularity 

 in issue. For some time past Mr. Bethune has desired to vacate the 

 position of Editor — not from any diminution in interest in the publication, 

 or from any cooling in zeal and attachment to the cause of Entomology 

 — but solely because his position as Head Master of Trinity College 

 School, entails upon him so much labour and engrosses so much of his 

 time, that he cannot satisfactorily perform the duties that properly devolve 

 upon the Editor of the Canadian Entomologist. Since the removal of 

 the head quarters of the Society to London, the labour attending upon 

 the issue of this publication has gradually fallen more and more upon Mr. 

 Saunders, though largely shared in by Mr. Reed, the late energetic 

 Secretary-Treasurer of the Society. 



The retiring Editor — who will continue to aid in the maintenance of 

 the journal, as far as his time will permit — begs to offer his most cordial 

 thanks to all those kind friends who have rendered him so much assistance 

 in the past, and to request that the same hearty support and co-operation 

 may be afforded to his friend and successor.
