1911 ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 41 



The volume for 1909^ the forty-first volume, contains articles from seventy-three 

 contributors. Amongst these are correspondents in Calcutta, Honolulu, Panama, and 

 St. Petersburg. These facts show how widely the influence of the Socnety extends. 

 In this volume no less than two hundred and twenty-eight newly discovered species 

 of insects are brought into notice and named, together with fourteen sub-species and 

 eight varieties. The following are the titles of some of the more important of the

At the close of last year the Eev. C. J. S. Bethune, who had conducted the 

 Canadian Entomologist for many years with great care and ability, found it neces- 

 sary to retire from active editorial work, much to the concern of the members of the 

 Society, who have highly appreciated his services. However, a worthy successor 

 in the editorship of the magazine has been found in Dr. E. M. "Walker, of the 

 Biological Department of Toronto University. 



Dr. Bethune has been appointed editor emeritus by the executive of the 

 Society. 



In the Society's library at Guelph there are more than two thousand bound 

 volumes and a very large number of unbound publications, bulletins, proceedings of 

 societies, etc.
