 at the Annual Meeting, held in the Education Department Building, May 16th, 1902. Mr. E. 

 M. Walker, vice-president, in the chair. 



Gentlemen : 



During the past year ten meetings have been held, and the following papers have been 

 read before the Society : — 



" A Collecting Trip in South-western Ontario " E. M. Walker. 



" An Evening at the Milkweed " A. F. Winn. 



" Butterfly Collecting in 1901" , J. B. Williams.

Two meetings were occupied with the "'Exhibition of Specimens," and at the special 

 meeting in November addresses were given by Mr. Arthur Gibson and Dr. Fletcher, of Ottawa, 

 and by Mr. H. H. Lyman, of Montreal, these gentlemen having kindly arranged to be present 

 on their way back from the London meetings. A number of the Natural History Society 

 members came to this meeting, as well as those of our own Branch, and a very pleasant even- 

 ing was spent in listening to and conversing with our three visitors. 



We arranged for a Field Day to High Park on the 24th of May, 1901, but, unfortunately, 

 the weather made any expedition cf this kind impossible ; however, we subsequently went to 

 High Park for the afternoon of June 22nd, and had an interesting and successful afternoon. 



A number of additional drawers in the Education Department museum have been corked 

 and glazed for the collection of insects that the Society is making for the^Department, and we 

 have now plenty of space to re-arrange the collection in a satisfactory manner, and provide 

 room for all the orders 



The Orthoptera, Odonata an 1 diurnal Lepidoptera have already been re-arranged. 

 We have subscribed for the " Journal of the New York Entomological Society," the 

 " Entomological News" and the " Bulletins of the New York State Mu.seum.". 



The Branch presented a series of the very beautiful plates of scale insects, from Bulletin 

 No. 46, to the Education Department museum, and Mr. Boyle, the Superintendent of the 

 museum, has had ihem framed and hung up in one of the rooms. 



Valuable papers on entomological subjects have also been received from the Central Ex- 

 perimental Farm at Ottawa, the United States Department of Agriculture at Washington, and 

 from several other sources.
