THUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4TH— MORNING SESSION. 



The President : In opening our' general session, I should like to welcome 

 you all to Ottawa. This is an unusual meeting for a number of reasons. It is 

 not the first meeting we have had in Ottawa — but it is an unusual meeting in that 

 we have here for the first time all the officers of the Entomological Branch. 

 Secondly, it is an unusual meeting as we have with us, and are honored by the 

 presence of, Mr. C. P. Lounsbury, the Government Entomologist for the Union of 

 South Africa. The surpreme nature of his visit prevented the appearance of his 

 name on the programme, but that will not release him from taking part in our 

 deliberations. He will probably have something to say later on. I, as President, 

 did not prepare anything in the nature of an address for this meeting as we have 

 a rather long programme. In the course of the proceedings I shall probably have 

 a little to say regarding the progress of our work and of entomology in Canada 

 generally. We have a certain amount of business to complete before our real 

 session begins and I will now call upon the Secretary to read the Report of the 

 Council.
