30 THE EEPOET OF THE No. 36 



REPOET OF THE CUEATOE. 



While the Society's collections have been examined regularly throughout the 

 past year and kept in order, with the exception of a few Diptera, they have had 

 no additions made to them. Correctly named specimens of Hynaenoptera, Diptera, 

 and Hemiptera are badly needed, and gifts of specimens from members who have 

 them to spare would be greatly appreciated. The collections have been frequently 

 used by fourth year students for identification purposes, and by a considerable 

 number of visiting members.

REPOET OF THE LIBEAEIAN. 



During the year ending October 31st, 1913, 32 bound volumes have been 

 added to the library, making the total number on the register 2,185. There have 

 also been added a large number of periodicals and other publications of scientific 

 societies throughout the world as well as bulletins and pamphlets. These are 

 classified so as to be available for reference. Amongst the additions to the library 

 may be mentioned the following : "Catalogue of Lepidoptera Phalsenae in the British 

 Museum," Vols. 11 and 12 by Sir George Hampson; "The Humble Bee," by F. 

 W. L. Sladen; "Aquatic Insects in New York State," by Professor Needham and 

 others; "Entomology with Eeference to its Biological and Other Aspects," 2nd 

 edition, by J. W. Folsom; "Social Life in the Insect World," by J. H. Fabre; 

 "Handbuch der Pflanzenkrankheiten," by Professor Paul Sorauer. 



The library continues to be largely used by the Biological students and staff 

 of the Ontario Agricultural College and is of great assistance to them in their 

 scientific investigations. Want of space unfortunately prevents a proper classifica- 

 tion being made of the books and they are consequently not arranged in a satis- 

 factory order.

 EOYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA.

As delegate of the Entomological Society of Ontario I have the honour of 

 presenting the following Eeport: 



The work of the Society during the past year has been attended with the usual 

 success. The number of active workers has increased in recent years, due to the 

 demand for investigation into the losses caused by the increased number of insect 

 pests that prey upon the crops of the farm, orchard, garden and forest. The great
