^8 THE EBPOET OF THE No. 36 



The exceptionally rainy season made 1912 a most disappointing year for 

 entomological outings, and this doubtless in part accounts for the falling off in the 

 number of papers read, and the apparent lack of interest. It might be advantageous 

 if the incoming Council, instead of waiting until the fall to plan a programme, 

 could arrange during this month a list of at least one subject for a paper for each 

 monthly meeting, and also appoint a committee of two or three to try and arrange 

 some outings for holidays, or Saturday afternoons. A record of any notable cap- 

 tures made on such trips should be kept. 



At the annual meeting of the parent society, the branch was represented by 

 Mr. H. H. Lyman and Mr. A. F. Winn. 



The first part of the list of insects of the Province of Quebec, comprising the 

 Lepidoptera, has been published and distributed by the Quebec Society for the 

 Protection of Plants. This was compiled and edited by Mr. A. F. Winn. It is 

 hoped that the members of the Branch will endeavor to get the parts dealing with 

 the other orders ready as soon as possible. 



The Treasurer's report shows a balance of $77.86 on hand. 



A copy of Dr. Walker's monograph of the Genus Aeshna has been presented to 

 our Society for our library. 



Respectfully submitted on behalf of the Council. 



(Signed) A. F. Winn, Secretary. 



The retiring President, Mr. G. A. Southee, read his annual address, after which 

 the election of officers for the ensuing year was proceeded with and which resulted 

 as follows : 



President A. F. Winn. 



Vice-President G. Chagnon. 



Secretary Geo. A. Moore. 



Treasurer and Curator H. H. Ltman. 



Council G. A. Southee, E. C. Barwick, G. H. Clayson. 



Mr. A. F. Winn exhibited a jar of larv^ of Haploa confusa found that after- 

 noon at Notre Dame de Grace. Mr. H. H. Lyman exhibited a certificate of an honor 

 recently bestowed upon him, that of being elected Fellow of the American Asso- 

 ciation for Advancement of Science. He received the congratulations of all 

 present. 



The meeting then adjourned. 



Geo. a. Moore, Secretary.
