While the average attendance at the meetings is smaller than might be 

 hoped for, it is gratifying to your Council to be able to state, that not only 

 has the work of contributing papers been shared among the members, but 

 also that the total of 34 papers is the largest number for any year in the 

 history of the Branch. During the year we have added four names to our 

 roll, but we have lost from our active list — for the time being — Mr. G. R. 

 Southee, whose business position has necessitated his removal to Calgary, 

 Alta. However, we feel sure he will favor us from time to time with 

 accounts of his work among the butterflies and moths of that vicinity. We 

 had the pleasure of having Mr. C. H. Young of Ottawa at our October 

 meeting. 



One field day was held at St. Madeleine, Quebec, on May 24th, but 

 weather conditions were very unfavorable. 



The collection of photographs of members has been added to by the 

 presentation of a portrait of the late Mr. Robert Jack. 



In the library have been placed copies of the current numbers of the 

 Canadian Entomologist, the annual report of the Parent Society for 1907, 

 report of the South London Entomological Society, 1907, Dr. Fletcher's 

 "Weed book," the N. T. State Entomological publication and the Plates of 

 Wright's Butterflies of the west coast. 



The Curator's duties have not been made arduous by the addition of any 

 new specimens, but the collection is in good condition, and any duplicates 

 the members can spare will be very acceptable. The Treasurer presented a 

 statement showing a balance on hand of |65.35. 



The following officers were elected: President, Geo. A. Moore; Vice- 

 President, Henry H. Lyman; Secretary-Treasurer, A. F. Winn; Curator and 

 Librarian, L. Gibb; Council, E. C. Barwick, G. Chagnon and E. Kollmar. 



Albert F. Winn, Secretary-Treasurer . 



REPORT OF THE QUEBEC BRANCH OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL 

 SOCIETY OF ONTARIO. 



The season of 1908 has been a very remarkable one. We have had a 

 long continuance of fine weather and a great lack of rain. The long drought 

 dried the leaves on the trees and they began to fall before the frosts came. 



There have been destructive forest fires all around us, and the air has 

 been full of smoke — at times so dense as seriously to impede navigation.
