1914 ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 37 



The Canadian Entomologist, the monthly journal of the Society has been 

 issued regularly each month. The forty-fourth volume was completed in Decem- 

 ber last. It consisted of 378 pages and was illustrated by a number of full page 

 plates and many original drawings. The contributors numbered 53 and included 

 writers in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Manitoba, Alberta, Australia, Peru and 

 many states of the Union. 



Meetings of the Society were held on alternate Thursday afternoons during 

 winter months in the Biological classroom of the Ontario Agricultural College, 

 and much interest was shown by students of the four years. The average atten- 

 dance at the meetings was fourteen. The following subjects were taken up and 

 discussed: "The Insects of the Season in Ontario," by Mr. L. Cassar; "Some 

 Notes on the House Ply/' by G. J. Spencer; " The Apple Maggot," by C. A. Good; 

 " Strepsiptera " by A. W. Baker; "The Anatomy of the Honey Bee," by J. C. 

 Millen; "The Eole of Insects in the Spread of Fire Blight" by D. Jones; "The 

 Thrips of Ontario," by J. W. Noble ; " Entomological Work in Kansas," by Mr. E. 

 Eraser. 



The reports of the Branches of the Society at Montreal and Toronto showed 

 that meetings had been regularly held and much active work had been performed. 

 The Council are gratified at being able to report the great increase in the number of 

 members of the British Columbia branch due to the active work carried on by 

 Mr. E. C. Treherne. The Council has much pleasure also in reporting that the 

 total number of new members joining the Society during the past year has 

 amounted to one hundred. The Council wishes to express its gratification at the 

 number who have now assembled in celebration of the Jubilee meeting of the 

 Society which will make this gathering a memorable occasion. It extends a hearty 

 welcome to all our visitors from a distance and trusts that they will enjoy their 

 visit to Guelph.
