1907 ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 37 



have now been published. The volume for 1906 contains 425 pages and is 

 illustrated with four full-page plates and 48 figures from original drawings. 

 The contributors numbered 66 and included writers in Canada, the United 

 States, Hawaiian Islands, England and Jamaica. 



From October to the middle of May meetings of the Society were held 

 in the Biological lecture-room on alternate Wednesday evenings, and occa- 

 sionally more frequently. The members of the Wellington Field Natural- 

 ists' Club joined with those of the Society in the proceedings and thus a 

 variety of biological subjects were discussed in addition to those of an ento- 

 mological character. The attendance was very satisfactory, many Nature 

 Study students and members of the third and fourth years being present at 

 most of the meetings. 



The reports from the branches of the Society at Montreal, Quebec, To- 

 ronto and British Columbia are very satisfactory, meetings having been 

 regularly held and many papers read and discussed. The last named branch 

 has published a quarterly Bulletin containing lists of British Columbia in- 

 sects of various orders and many highly interesting notes and observations. 



The newly organized Entomological Society of America held its first 

 meeting in New York at the end of December last. It is gratifying to record 

 that our Society was recognized by the election of Dr. Fletcher as first Vice- 

 President, and Dr. Bethune as a member of the Executive Committee ; both 

 these gentlemen are also original Fellows of the new Society. In August 

 the Society held its second meeting at Boston during the sessions of the 

 Seventh International Congress of Zoologists; Dr. William Saunders, of 

 Ottawa, and Mr. H. H. Lyman, of Montreal, two of our members of long 

 standing, were elected Fellows, and Dr. Bethune, one of the two representa- 

 tives of the Society on the Council of the American Association for the Ad- 

 vancement of Science. 



James Fletcher, President.
