FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT 



OF THE 



Entomological Society of Ontario 



1914. 



To the Honourable James S. Duff, Minister of Agriculture. 



SiR^ — I have the honour to present herewith the Forty-fifth Annual Eeport of 

 the Entomological Society of Ontario, containing the proceedings of the Fifty-first 

 Annual Meeting, which was held at Toronto on the 5th and 6th of November, 1914. 



The meeting was well attended, and much discussion took place on various 

 subjects of importance, particularly on the outbreak of the Army-worm in Canada 

 in 1914. A full report of these discussions is given in the following pages, together 

 with the papers and addresses presented, and the reports of the various officers and 

 branches of the Society. 



The work of the Society continues to be carried on with vigor and enthusiasm, 

 the activity of the British Columbia Branch, which a few years ago had been 

 entirely suspended, being worthy of special mention. 



The Canadian Entomologist, the Society's monthly journal, continues to 

 maintain its wide circulation in spite of the increased subscription price. The 

 forty-sixth volume now completed, is the largest and most fully illustrated that 

 has yet been published. 



I have the honour to be. Sir, 



Your obedient servant, 



EDMUND M. WALKER, 



Editor.
