N. Y., under the direction of Dr. Felt, by the well known specialists. Dr. J. 6. Needham, A. 

 D. McGillivray, p. A. Johannsen and Dr. K. C. Davi;'. It adds enormously to our knowledge of 

 aquatic insects and is a publication replete with information, a large part of which is altogether 

 new. 



Specialists. 



The record this year is again chiefly made up of notes on lepidoptera and coleoptera. Exten- 

 sive lists of diptera have been sent in by Mr. Harvey, of Vancouver, and Mr. Mcintosh, of 

 St. John and many othsr collectors in diflerent parts of Canada have material now under 

 examination. With regard to hemiptera, Mr. Stevenson, of Montreal, Mr. Metcalfe, 

 of Ottawa, Mr. Hanham, of Victoria, and Mr. Taylor, of Wellington, have made large 

 collections, which are now being worked up by Mr. Van Duzee and other specialists. I hope 

 to give a considerable amount of space next year to these two orders. The orthoptera have been 

 studied to a considei'>ible extent by Mr. T. N. Willing, an<l Mr. N. Criddle in the West, by 

 Mr. E. M. Walker in Ontario and by tlie Rev. Dr. Fyles in Quebec. 



Of those making a special study of certain groups or orders, the following may be 

 mentioned, so that anyone wishing to help them in their studies by sending material for 

 examination or wishing to correspond may know of them. A sufficient address is given for 

 each in the list of active workers herewith. 



Life-histories — Messrs. Lyman, Brainerd, FyL-s, Young, Gibson, Fletcher, Cockle. 



Diurnals — Messrs. Lyman, Wolley-Dod, Fyles, Willing, Marmont, Hanham, Heath and 

 Fletcher. 



Nocturnals — The genus Hydroecia, Messrs. Lyman, Winn, Norris and Brainerd, Montreal. 

 The genus Apantesis, A. Gibson, Ottawa. The genus Parugrotis {Carneades and Euxoa) and its 

 allies, F. H. Wolley-Dod, Millarville. The Geometridre of North America, Rev. G. W. Taylor, 

 Wellington ; Mr. Taylor has corresponded with all interested in this family and has now 

 amassed an enormous collection, probably one of the largest on the continent. He has worked 

 these up from the descriptions and is now ready to assist anyone who will send him material. 



Active Wokkers. 



The following list gives the names of the most active workers in Canada which have been 

 heard from during the past year. There are doubtless many others, but I have not heard from 

 them during 1903. The initials in parentheses after their names indicate the orders they are 

 studying, or if they have general collections.
