18 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Dr. Hewitt then gave an interesting "Review of Canadian Ent- 

 omology for 1912" in which he outHned the work of the division 

 for the year, illustrating the valuable results that have already 

 followed the establishment of field stations in various parts of the 

 country. Prof. Lochhead next addressed the meeting on "The 

 Teaching of Entomology in the Agricultural Colleges", a subject 

 which evoked much interesting discussion. A particularly 

 enjoyable feature of the meeting was the next paper, "The Rise in 

 Public Estimation of the Science of Entomology", by the Rev. 

 Dr. Fyles, whose charming style and dramatic delivery were once 

 again the delight of all the members present. 



At the evening meeting, which was held in the Auditorium of 

 the Normal School, the chair was occupied by the Hon. Martin 

 Burrell, Minister af Argiculture, who in a highly entertaining 

 address, introduced the lecturer, Mr. F. W. L. Sladen, of the 

 Division of Entomology. Mr. Sladen, who is a leading authority 

 on apiculture, gave a very interesting and instructive lecture on 

 "Bumble-bees and their Ways," which was illustrated by a 

 number of beautiful lantern slides. 



A special feature of the Wednesday meeting was an enter- 

 taining address by Mr. J. H. Grisdale, Director of the Dominion 

 Experimental Farms, in which a keen appreciation was shown of 

 the work that is now being done in Canada in economic entom- 

 ology.
