dents who specialize in Entomology we could not have made such progress as we 

 have been able to make. Their work speaks well for the excellent training they 

 have received from Dr. Bethune. 



Mr. J. C. Chapais, representing the Quebec Society for the Protection of 

 Plants, after offering congratulations, spoke of the splendid work done for -ento- 

 mology in the Province by the late Abbe Provancher, and by Eev. Thos. Eyles. 



Me. E. C. Teeherne conveyed the compliments and the good wishes of the 

 British Columbia Entomological Society and more especially to the honored Presi- 

 dent, Dr. C. J. S. Bethune, from whom they had always received sound advice 

 and encouragement. 



Me. H. H. Lyman", in the absence of Mr. A. F. Winn, presented the felicita-

 ferred to the celebration, fifteen years ago, of the 25th Anniversary of the Branch, 

 which has the honour of being the third senior entomological society on this con-

 society. He extended warm congratulations to the revered president, Dr. Bethune, 

 and expressed the hope that he might long be spared to the society. 



De. a. Cosens very cordially extended the greeting of the Toronto branch 

 of the Entomological Society of Ontario. 



Me. Aethue Gibson, representing the Ottawa Field-Katuralists' Club, offered 

 warm congratulations. The Club desired to place on record its full appreciation 

 of the splendid results achieved by the Entomological Society of Ontario during 

 the fifty years of its existence. The series of volumes of the Canadian Entomo- 

 logist and the yearly reports of the Society are invaluable to students of insects 

 of every country. 



Prof. Comstock extended the heartiest congratulations of the Entomological 

 Society of London. 



Prof. P. J. Parrott said : In representing the American Association of 

 Economic Entomologists it gives me great pleasure to present greetings to the 

 Entomological Society of Ontario at this celebration of its fiftieth anniversary and 

 to express our heartiest congratulations upon the completion of this period of 

 honorable and effective service, and to extend warm wishes for continued success 

 and prosperity. 



E. M. Webster, representative of the Entomological Society of Washington 

 and the Bureau of Entomology, U.S. Department of Agriculture, brought greet- 

 ings from these. He spoke with feeling of the high character and ability of the 

 late Dr. James Fletcher, and referred to the excellent work done by Dr. Saunders 

 and Dr. Bethune. He also said that they had a number of graduates from Guelph 

 in the Bureau, and "if we have a jDoor one, I certainly do not know it." 



Prof. J. H. Comstock, representing Cornell University, said: Your col- 

 leagues in the study of Entomolog}' at Cornell University wish to extend to 

 you our heartiest congratulations on your completion of fifty years of most eminent 

 service to our favorite science. 



The unselfish devotion of the members of this society to science has been an 

 inspiration to all American entomologists. The appearance of your journal. The 

 Canadian Entomologist, has been eagerly looked for monthly by many readers 

 across the border. In fact this journal has been Canadian only in name, for the 

 generous treatment of contributors living south of the Great Lakes has made us 

 feel that it is our journal also, and those of us who have been admitted to member- 

 ship in the Entomological Society of Ontario appreciate the honour most deeply.
