12 The Ottawa Naturalist. [April 



THE ENTOMOLOGICAL BRANCH. 



The Entomological Branch has held no meetings during the 

 winter of 1914-15. This has been largely owing to the fact that 

 there are very few workers in entomology, other than those 

 employed officially in the Department of Agriculture. 



Throughout the Ottawa district large numbers of insects 

 in the various orders were collected during the season of 

 1914 for systematic studv and manv new records have been 

 obtained. Many of these captures are being recorded in the 

 Entomological Record for 1914, which will appear in the annual 

 report of the Entomological Society of Ontario for that year. 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. 



The Club has again been fortunate in securing suitable ac- 

 commodation for lectures and committee meetings through the 

 courtesy of the management of the Carnegie Public Library and 

 the Normal School, and our thanks are also due to the city press 

 for free insertion of lectures and excursion notices and reports. 



Respectfully submitted, 



E. D. EDDY, 



Secretary. 



ERRATUM. 



In Mr. Melville Dale's article on "August Bird Life at 

 Pleasant Point, Ont." which appeared in the March (1915) 

 issue of The Ottawa Naturalist, the fotir paragraphs on 

 page 174 beginning with "The discovery of this bird . . . . " 

 and ending with "within the range of the observer" should 

 have been placed under the Caspian Tern, Sterna caspia, and 

 not under the Bluebird, Sialia sialis. Ornithologists please 

 make note. 



SUBSCRIPTION 1915-1916. 



Members of the Club are reminded that membership fees 

 for 1915-1916 are now due, and that the same are payable to 

 the new Treasurer, Mr. G. Le Lacheur, Seed Branch, Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture, Ottawa.
