TO OUR FRIENDS. 



It has been determined by the Council of the Entomological Society 

 of Ontario to make their collection a representative one of Canadian 

 Entomology, and thus enable it to be of permanent use for reference and 

 comparison. 



This is the more desirable as owing to the Collection having been 

 exhibited in England and the United States on various International occa- 

 sions, many specimens have lost their color and freshness. 



Mr. J. Alston Moffatt, of Hamilton, Ont., has kindly consented to 

 revise and re-arrange the Collection. 



Printed lists will be published from time to time of desiderata required 

 to fill up and replace the various sections. 



We appeal to our members and friends to help the Society in this 

 useful work, and to send what specimens they can procure of the insects 

 required. 



Insects used by the Society in this way will be labelled in the Collec- 

 tion with the name and address of the donor. 



The following list of Lepidoptera has been prepared, showing what 

 are the more immediate wants in this class. 



It is not expected that all these will be obtained from present Collec- 

 tions, but members might bear in mind what is wanted, and endeavor to 

 make special captures during the next and following seasons. 



All specimens should be securely packed and sent by express at the 

 cost of the Society, directed to Mr. W. E. Saunders, London, Ont.
