The Council of the Toronto Branch of the Entomological Society of Ontario take 

 much pleasure in presenting the Fourth Annual Report of the proceedings of the Branch 

 for the year ending 31st March, 1900. 



They are pleased to report that since the last annual meeting the membership of the 

 Branch has been increased by the addition of one new name, viz , Mr. D. G, Cox, and as 

 some of the meetings have been attended by visitors, no doubt others may be induced to 

 take an interest in our work in the near future. 



During the past year fifteen regular meetings have been held in the Education 

 Department, with a fair average attendance of the members. The Council is pleased at 

 the result of Mr. Lyman's suggestion that papers be exchanged between the Toronto and 

 Montreal Branches, and is much indebted to the members of the latter Branch for the 

 interesting papers so kindly contributed. As a partial return, Mr. Walker's paper, men- 

 tioned below, was forwarded to be read before thff Montreal Branch. 



The following is a list of the papers read before the Branch during the past year :
