THE FIFTIETH ANNUAL MEETING OF THE ENTOMO- 

 LOGICAL SOCIETY OF ONTARIO. 



One of the most important and interesting events in the 

 history of the Entomological Society of Ontario, the celebration of 

 its Fiftieth Annual Meeting, took place on Wednesday, Thursday 

 and Friday, August 27-29, 1913, at the Ontario Agricultural Col- 

 lege, Guelph. Wednesday and Thursday were devoted to the 

 reading of papers and presentation of addresses by the representa- 

 tives of other societies and institutions and to the routine business 

 of the society, while on Friday an excursion was made to Grimsby 

 and the Niagara Fruit District. 



The President, Rev. Dr. Bethune, was unfortunately unable 

 to act in his official capacity on account of defective eye-sight, but 

 he was nevertheless present at all the meetings, and his place in 

 the chair was ably filled by the \'ice-President, Dr. Hewitt. 



The meetings were attended not only by a large number of 

 the Society's members and visitors from the town, but also by a 

 goodly representation of distinguished entomologists from the 

 United States and Great Britain. Keen regret was felt by all in 

 the absence of Dr. Wm. Saunders, whose serious illness prevented 

 him from being present, as had been hoped for, but, apart from the 

 disappointment caused by his absence and that of several other 

 prominent entomologists who had been expected, the meeting was 

 a most successful and memorable occasion and was much enjoyed 

 by everyone present. Much of the success of the meeting is to be 

 credited to the excellent arrangements of the committee in charge 

 for the comfort and accommodation of the members and visitors. 



The following were present at the meeting: 



Prof. J. H. Comstock, Hon. Member, Entomological Depart- 

 ment. Cornell L^niversity, Ithaca, N.Y.; Mrs. J. H. Comstock; 

 Prof. F. M. Webster, Hon. Member, Bureau of Entomology,
