 moved away, other new ones have joined. 



The list of papers and lectures attached hereto have been splendidly 

 descriptive and scientifically accurate, and not a few of them covered new 

 and hitherto unknown material ; some have been illustrated by lantern, 

 others by specimens, charts, and drawings ; putting before the members most 

 completely all material connected therewith. 



The attendance at meetings has been good, although the weather at 

 times has not been propitious. 



Tour Secretary-Treasurer has also to announce that the Librarian-Cur- 

 ator has arranged and hung in the museum another large case of specimens, 

 showing moths found in and near Toronto ; also to thank members for their 

 kind donations both of specimens and publications. 



It is with sincere regret that your Secretary-Treasurer announces his 

 withdrawal from the position he has held for some years past, and begs to 

 thank the members, as a whole, for their kindness and courtesy shown to 

 him on all occasions. 



All of which is respectfully submitted.
