LONDON, ONT., JUNE, 1871. 



NO. 2. 



TO OUR FRIENDS. 



We very much regret that the new type with which the present number 

 is printed did not reach us in time to be used for No. i. There had been 

 so much delay in beginning the volume, that we thought it best to use such 

 material as we had at command rather than postpone its commencement lon- 

 ger. The printing and general appearance of our little monthly is now as near 

 perfection as we can hope to reach, and will in future be uniform. We 

 trust all our readers will show their appreciation of our efforts to improve 

 the Entomologist by sending a few more names to add to our increasing 

 list of membership ; and we should also feel obliged if those of onr old 

 members whose annual subscriptions are not yet paid would remit to the 

 Treasurer as promptly as possible. 



When issuing our last number, we printed an unusually large edition, 

 intending to send a copy to every person in Ontario known to be interested 

 in Entomology directly, or indirectly as agriculturists or horticulturists, with 

 the hope of largely increasing our list of subscribers. When mailing we 

 found our surplus copies not sufficient for the purpose, and intend printing 

 an extra number of the present issue, which we shall send to all those 

 who did not receive No. i. P'or the benefit of such we append the con- 

 tents of our first number, of which we still hold sufficient to supply new 

 subscribers : 



Constitution of the Entomological Society of Ontario. 



Editorial. 



The Plum Sphinx Moth, with 3 illustrations. 



Currant Worms, with 2 illustrations. 



Hints to Fruit Growers, with 3 illustrations. 



Entomological Gleanings, with 1 illustration. 



Miscellaneous Notes, &c. 



Subscriptions, one dollar ($1.25 in U. S. currency) per annum, should 

 be sent to the Secretary, E. B. Reed. Esq., London, Ont.
