22 THE REPORT OF THE No. 19 



A large number of scientific magazines, bulletins of experimental sta- 

 tions, and other publications, have also been received. Many of these will 

 be bound into volumes and the rest catalogued and arranged in such a way 

 as to be readily accessible. 



The number of volumes issued to members during the year was thirty- 

 three. 



The collections of Canadian insects have been increased during the year 

 by the generous gift of 103 specinjeus (52 species) of Coleoptera and two 

 specimens each of six species of Lepidoptera taken by Mr. Norman Griddle 

 at Aweme, Manitoba. The local members have contributed specimens in 

 various orders taken in the immediate neighborhood of London. 



The Curator would very much like to receive specimens of almost all 

 our Canadian insects to fill blanks in the cabinets and to replace old and 

 imperfect examples. Any member who has specimens to spare would con- 

 fer a favour by sending first a list of those which he is willing to present 

 to the Society in order to avoid duplication. In many of the orders our 

 collections are very meagre. 



The removal of the Society's librar}^ and cabinets to the room in the 

 Public Library building was satisfactorily accomplished last month, and 

 no damage was done to either books or specimens. The increased space now 

 available will enable the Society to find room for large additions to both 

 the collections and the library. 



Respectfully submitted. 



Charles J. S. Bethune, 



Librarian and Curator.
