ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF ONTARIO.— FIFTIETH 



ANNIVERSARY 



At the regular meeting of the Society, held on Friday, March 

 14th, it was decided to hold the Annual Meeting of the Ento- 

 mological Society of Ontario and the celebration of the 50th 

 anniversary of its formation at the Ontario Agricultural College, 

 Guelph, on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 27th, 28th 

 and 29th. A committee to make all necessary arrangements was 

 appointed, consisting of the following: Professors Bethune, Howitt 

 and Jarvis, and Messrs. Caesar, Baker and Spencer, of Guelph; 

 Dr. E. M. Walker and Mr. A. Cosens, of Toronto; Dr. C. Gordon 

 Hewitt and Mr. Arthur Gibson, of Ottawa, and Messrs. H. H. 

 Lyman and A. F. Winn, of Montreal, with power to add to their 

 number. 



As the time of the meeting will be during the first week of 

 the Toronto Exhibition, reduced railway rates will be available as 

 far as that city. The committee will welcome suggestions from 

 any of the members of the Society regarding the best methods of 

 carrying out this celebration. 



At a previous meeting a resolution was adopted expressing 

 sympathy with the Royal Geographical Society of London, Eng- 

 land, in the loss sustained by them and by the scientific world in 

 general through the death from cold and exhaustion of Captain 

 Scott and his brave companions. 



The habitat of Rhogas indicus Cam. — In Wien.Ent. Zeit., 1910, 

 p. 3, Cameron has described a new species under the above name, 

 giving as habitat "Sitka on the Ganges (Mannerh?)" There may 

 possibly be some locality Sitka on the Ganges river, but "Man- 

 nerh" is apparently an abbreviation of Mannerheim, who possessed 

 many insects from Sitka in Alaska, and this^is, I think, certainly 

 the true habitat of the species.
