1913 ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 23 



The Branch is badly in need of additional members to share the work of keeping 

 up the interest in our meetings and bringing specimens, notes and queries. An effort 

 should be made to encourage boys who are incline'd to hobbies of collecting to take 

 up some group of insects. 



Copies of several new works on Lepidoptera were shown at the meetings. 



The report of the Treasurer shows a balance on hand of $74.98. 



Eespectfully submitted, on behalf of the Council, 



A. F. WiNX, 



Secretary. 



The chairman delivered his annual address, after which the election of officers 

 for the ensuing year was proceeded with, resulting as follows: President, G. A. 

 Southee; Vice-President and Librarian, G. Chagnon; Secretary-Treasurer, A. F. 

 Winn; Curator, H. H. L}'man; Members of Council, G. A. Moore, E. C. Barwick, 

 and L. Gibb. 



The Secretary showed a box containing a series of about 30 specimens of 

 Colias philodice to illustrate how interesting a repra^entatiou of the varieties of a 

 common butterfly may be. 



Mr. Southee also exhibited a number of drawers of Lepidoptera. 



The meeting then adjourned.
