1903 ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



British Columbia at all of which injurious insects were treated of to some extent. Prof. 

 Lochhead and Dr. Fletcher among others have also taken an active part in developing the 

 new Nature Study movement in the Educational Institutions of the Country. Mr. W. E. 

 Saunders has continued to give interesting addresses on '■ The Birds of Canada " to meetings 

 of teachers and others in various towns of Weatern Ontario, and Dr. Beth une has given a 

 practical address to the market gardeners of London on some insects affecting their crops. 



Judging from the frequent requests for our Annual Reports from teachers of our High and 

 Public Schools, we believe that the work of this Society is appreciated by those who are trying 

 to open up the wonderful field of insect life, and to understand the best ways of dealing with 

 injurious pests. 



We note with satisfaction the purchase by the Ontario Government of Dr. Brodie's large 



and valuable collection of insects. This collection can now be made available for study and 



reference, and should be a means of increasing the interest in Entomology. 



All of which is respectfully submitted. 



W, Lochhead, ' 



President.
