ANNUAL MEETING 



The Fiftieth Animal Meeting of the Society was held at the Ontario Agri- 

 cultural College, Guelph, on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Aug. 27th, 38th 

 and 29th, 19 ly, and was one of the most important events in the history of the 

 Society. 



The President, Eev. Dr. C. J. S. Bethune, though present at all the meetings 

 was unfortunately unable to act in his official capacity on account of defective eye- 

 sight. His place in the chair was ably filled by the Vice-President, Dr. C. Gordon 

 Hewitt. 



The meetings were attended not only by a large number of the Society's 

 members and visitors from the town, but also by a goodly representation of dis- 

 tinguished entomologists from the United States and Great Britain. Keen regret- 

 was felt by all in the absence of Dr. William Saunders, one of the original founders 

 of the Society, whose serious illness prevented him from attending the meetings, as 

 had been expected.
