1911 ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 37 



sions had been arranged for the next day, the majority going to Bruges and Ostend. 

 The concluding reception was the grand one given at the old and wonderful 

 Hotel de Ville by the Burgomaster, Mons. Max, on Sunday evening, August 7th, 

 when that magnificent building, so rich in beautiful architecture, tapestries, pic- 

 tures, frescoes and bric-a-brac, was thrown open to the guests of the city. Thus, 

 amid scenes of brilliance and splendour in this stately mediaeval building, came 

 to an end this First International Congress of Entomology, all looking forward 

 with pleasure to the next meeting at Oxford in 1912. 



ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MONTREAL BRANCH. 



The thirty-seventh annual meeting of the Montreal Branch was held at 74 

 McTavish Street, on Saturday evening. May 14th.

 Ohagnor, E. C. Barwick, Geo. A. Moore, A. E. Norris, W. G. Gerth, and A. F.

The minutes of the April meeting, and of the last annual meeting, were read 

 ami confirmed. 



Mr. H. Earby was elected a member of the Branch. 



The Secretary read the following 



Report of the Council. 



Nine meetings have been held during the season 1909-'10, the average attend- 

 ance being a fraction over 9, which is an improvement on the previous year; but, 

 considering that the population of Montreal is over 600,000, there should be more 

 than a score of persons interested in Entomology. Three new names have been 

 added to our roll, but three others have resigned. 



Below is a list of the papers read (most of which were illustrated by specimens), 

 and the discussions following them were of interest.
