The Canadian Entomologist, the official organ of the Society, has been 

 regularly issued each month ; the forty-seventh annual volume was completed in 

 December, 1915. It contained 417 pages and was illustrated with seventeen 

 plates and thirty smaller figures in the text. A series of monthly papers on 

 " Popular and Economic Entomology " added much to the interesting character 

 of the contents; 21 new genera and 101 new species and sub-species were described. 

 The contributors to its pages numbered sixty-one, and included writers in Ontario, 

 Quebec, Nova Scotia, Manitoba, Alberta, British Columbia, fourteen of the United 

 States, Honolulu, Japan and Finland. It is gratifying to know that, wliile sub- 

 scriptions from the enemy countries of Europe have been discontinued* the number 

 of subscribers has considerably increased. 



Owing to the fact that most of the members of tlie Society in.Guelph were 

 taking military drill, the regular meetings of the Society during 1915-16 were

 however, the following papers were read: 



" Methods of Bearing, Studying and Combating Cut-worms and Army-worms 

 in Western Canada," by Mr. F. W. Walsh ; " Parasitic Work in Nova Scotia," by 

 Mr. A. B. Baird ; " Syrphus Flies and Their Eole in the Control of Aphids," by
