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

 issued regularly each month. The 45th volume was completed in December last. 

 It consisted of 438 pages, and was very extensively illustrated. The circulation 

 of the journal is now approximately 700, so the circulation has not been lowered 

 by the increased subscription price.
