The Society's branches at Quebec, Montreal, Toronto, Guelph and Vancouver 

 all report a most active year. They have all held regular meetings at which 

 papers have been read and specimens exhibited for discussion. The British Colum- 

 bian Branch publishes a Quarterly Bulletin, which gives concisely the work of the 

 local members. Valuable notes on captures are included from time to time. 



The library of the Society, at its headquarters in Guelph, is continuously 

 growing. During the year ending August 31st, 1908, 49 bound volumes were 

 added to the Library, making the total now on the register 1,971. The books of 

 the Society are consulted almost daily by members and also to a considerable extent 

 by the students of the Ontario Agricultural Society. 



Some interesting donations have been made during the year to the Society's 

 collections of insects. These collections are now being gone over and many old 

 specimens have been replaced by fresher examples, bearing fuller particulars as to 

 locality, date of collection, etc. 



The Canadian Entomologist, under the continued able editorship of the Rev. 

 Prof. C. J. S. Bethune, completed last December its fortieth volume. This is a 

 much larger volume than usual, containing 471 pages. Its articles are of the 

 greatest value to entomologists, in fact it is absolutely necessary for anyone who 

 studies insects to any extent, to subscribe to it. Sixty-nine different entomologists 

 contributed to its pages last year, and a number of full page plates appeared as well 

 as numerous figures in the text. It is impossible here to give a list of the papers 

 published, but the following are some of the more important: 



British Columbia Syrphidse, New Species and Additions to the List. By Raymond 

 C Osborn, Columbia University, New York. 



New Histories and Species in Papaipema (Hydroecia). By Henry Bird, Rye, N.Y. 

 Studies in the Genus Incisalia. By John H. Cook, Albany, N.Y.
