REPORT OF THE QUEBEC BRANCH OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL 



SOCIETY OF ONTARIO. 



The Quebec Branch of the Entomological Society of Ontario has pursued 

 its useful course for a period of ten years. 



We have had to mourn the demise of some of our members and to bid 

 adieu to others who have moved to distant localities, but additions to our 

 membership have from time to time encouraged us. 



The authorities of Morrin College still allow the Branch to hold its 

 meetings in that institution — a privilege that is highly appreciated by the 

 members. 



The past season has been, for the most part, an unfavorable one for 

 entomologists, on account of the frequent rains, but much good work in col- 

 lecting was done by our curator, Mr. A. R. M. Boulton. vSuch fine moths as 

 Ceratomia amyntor, Geyer, C . undulosa, Walker, Sthenopis argenteo-macula,- 

 tus, Harris, being taken by him. 



Mr. Boulton also, on one of his excursions, discovered a batch of Hemaris 

 larvae, feeding upon a solitary bush of ViburnuTn opulvs, Montmorency. The 

 larvae are true Sphinges in form and attitude; but they lack the transverse 

 side-lines that other Sphinges have, and they do not bury themselves in the 

 ground when full fed, but spin a slight cocoon among leaves above ground. 



Another interesting batch of larvae was brought from Miranda, P. Q., 

 by Miss Johnson, one of our members. It was one of An/isota Senatoria, S. 

 & A., a species that has not hitherto been taken at Quebec. 



A case of valuable specimens from California was presented by Miss 

 Freeman. 



The Branch now numbers 28 members. 



During the year papers were read by the President on Hemi'ptera, on the 

 Flora and Fauna of the Province of Quebec, on "Voices of the Night," on
