The President: We are very pleased to learn, as announced in the report of 

 the Council, of the fonnation in Nova Scotia of an Entomological Society, which 

 has become affiliated as a branch of the Ontario Entomological Society, and I 

 should like to take this opportunity of congratulating Prof. Brittain and his asso- 

 ciates in the energetic way in which he has collected together the scattered units 

 who have entomological leanings in that Province. We shall be glad to hear from 

 Prof. Brittain, if he has not a formal report, a few words in regard to the Society. 



Prof. Brittain: Though I did not prepare any formal report, I am pleased 

 to be able to say that in July last we held an organization meeting and succeeded 

 in forming a very flourishing branch of the Ontario Entomological Society.
