THE EEPOET OF THE LIBEAEIAN. 



During the year ending October 31st, 1911, eight-eight bound volumes have 

 been added to the Library, making the total number on the register 2106. This 

 is a much larger number of additions than in any previous year for a long time. 

 The Treasurer had more funds available for the purposes of the Library this 

 year than usual and we were, therefore, enabled to purchase some valuable and 

 expensive works, as well as to bind a considerable nuihber of periodicals. 



During the year a card catalogue as regards authors has been made of the 

 bound volumes and will be found useful to those who wish to consult the library. 

 It will be necessary, however, to make a similar card index to subjects to make the 

 means of reference complete. 



A further improvement has been made by sorting out and arranging a large 

 number of bulletins and periodicals in pamphlet cases; 150 were procured and 

 now the publications of experimental stations have been arranged according 

 to states and countries. This will facilitate reference very much. 



Among the additions made may be mentioned the following works: 



Sir George Hampson's " Catalogue of the Lepidoptera Phalaenae in the British 



Museum," Vol. IX. 

 Kirkaldy's " Catalogue of Hemlptera — Heteroptera," Vol. I. 

 Blatchley's " Coleoptera of Indiana." 



Gray's " Nomenclature of Coleoptera in the British Museum." 

 Gray's "Catalogue of Longicorn Coleoptera in the British Museum." 

 Douglas & Scott's " British Hemiptera — Heteroptera." 

 Kirby's " Synonymic Catalogue of Orthoptera." 

 Theobald's " Monograph of the Culicidae of the World." 

 Cameron's " Monograph of British Phytophagous Hymenoptera," 4 vols. 

 Buckton's " Monograph of British Aphides," 4 vols. 

 Sir John Lubbock's " Monograph of the Collemibola and Thysamira." 

 Michael's " British Oribatidae and British Tyroglyphidae." 

 Also a Series of the Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington, 12 



vols. 



The library is constantly made use of by the senior students and members 

 of the staff of the Ontario Agricultural College, and is of the utmost assistance 

 to them in their entomological work. 



Eespectfully submitted, 



Charles J. S. Bethune, Librarian. 



EEPOET OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF ONTAEIO TO THE 

 EOYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA. 



Prof. J. M. Swaine, Macdonald College, Que. 



As a delegate from the Entomological Society of Ontario, I have the honour 

 of presenting this report. 



In general the Society has had a very successful year. There appears to be a 

 decrease in the membership of one or two of the Branch Societies, but it is 

 hoped that young members may be obtained to carry on the work so well done 

 by the older men, now gradually dropping out.
