REPORT ON ZOOLOGY. 



The Committee beg to submit the following notes. Mr. Mcintosh 

 has prepared a list of the Butterflies found in the province, which will 

 be found in another part of the Bulletin. Next year it is the inten- 

 tion to publish further lists of our insects. The committee are pleased 

 with the great interest taken at the present time in zoological studies 

 in the province. 



Insects. 



During the present year, insects have not been noticeably injurious 

 with perhaps the exception of the Tussock Moth, Orgyia leucostigma. 

 Many of the trees in the city and suburbs were almost completely 

 defoliated by the caterpillars of this species, and judging from the 

 number of eggs on the trees at the present time, they will be very 

 numerous during the coming summer. 



Wm, McIntosh. 



Batrachians. 



Hitherto but five species of Ranidae have been recorded as found 

 in New Brunswick. Rana catesbiana, R. clamata, R. virescens, R. 

 silvatica and R. palustris. (See Bulletin XVI. pp. 64-66, 1898.)
