great satisfaction to know that we have a successor to the late Dr. Fletcher who 

 has had a thorough scientific training and is evidently quite competent to take 

 up and continue the work of his illustrious predecessor. The country is to be 

 congratulated on the acquisition of so able a man and it is trusted that he will 

 long continue to work out and develop the various phases of economic and syste- 

 matic entomology which will devolve upon him. We welcome him most cordially 

 also to the ranks of our Society. 



Eespectfully submitted, 



Tennyson D. Jar vis, 



President. 



REPORT OF THE MONTREAL BRANCH. 



The 302nd regular, and 36th annual meeting of the Montreal Branch was held 

 at 74 McTavish Street on May 8th, 1909. 



The members present were: Messrs. Geo. A. Moore, in the chair; Plenry H. 

 Lyman, G. Chagon, G. A. Southee, E. C. Barwick, A. E. Norris, L. Gibb, F. Parkins, 

 Jr., W. G. Gerth, A. ,M. Delisle, A. F. Winn. 



The minutes of the April meeting and last annual meeting were read and con- 

 firmed. 



St. Hilaire was selected as the locality for Victoria Day outing. 



The Secretary read the following 



Report of the Council. 



During the season eight regular meetings have been held, the average attendance 

 being eight members. Six new names have been added to the roll, and it is hoped 

 that after the collecting season that they will help make our meetings interesting by 

 bringing specimens of their captures as well as notes and queries on certain species. 



At the beginning of the present year, the Mount Royal Entomological Club was 

 amalgamated with our Society, their books, pamphlets and funds being handed over 

 to us. To take the place of part of the work of the late club, it was decided to hold 

 informal meetings between the regular dates or during the summer. Two of these 

 meetings have been held; one in January was devoted to examining the collection 

 of lepidoptera of the Secretary; the other in April at Mr. Barwick's, at which he 

 showed his new cabinet and collection, and microscopic slides of insects were 

 exhibited under three of the members' instruments.
