52 THE KBPORT OF THE No. 36 



- 



In the Annual Eeport of the Society, besides the proceedings of the Jubilee " 

 Meeting, the reports of the various officers and branches of the Society were 

 published, and also the following papers: 



"Insects of the Season in Ontario," L. Caesar, O.A.C, Guelph. 



"The Entomological Record,'^ Arthur Gibson, Division of Entomology, Ottawa, m 



Regular meetings of the Society were held in the Biological Lecture-room of 

 tlie Ontario Agricultural College on alternate Thursday afternoons during the 

 winter months. In addition to the enaction of considerable business, the following 

 papers were read and discussed: 



"Entomological Notes in Egypt," by Prof. T. D. Jarvis. 



"The Apple Maggot," by Mr. C. A. Good. 



*'Insect Pests of the Season," by Mr. L. Caesar. 



*'The Mole Cricket," by Dr. Bethune. 



""Collecting Insects," by Mr. A. W. Baker. 



"'The Cherry Fruit-fly," by Mr. G. J. Spencer. 



A meeting was also held in conjunction with the Wellington Field Naturalists' 

 Club, at which Dr. W. A. Riley, of Cornell University, delivered an address on 

 "Insects as Carriers of Disease." 



The reports of the various branches showed that the year 1912-13 was a very 

 successful one withal. The Council takes much pleasure in announcing that 

 during 1913-14 seventy new members have joined the Society. 



It is with the deepest regret that the Council records the death- of two 

 distinguished members of the Society. Mr. Henry H. Lyman, President, 1897- 

 1899, was lost in the wreck of the steamship "Empress of Ireland" on the 29th 

 of May last. Dr. William Saunders, C.M.G., died' at his residence in London, 

 Ontario, on the 13th of September; he was one of the original founders of the 

 Society, for many years Editor of the "Canadian Entomologist/' and filled varioiis 

 offices, including the' Presidency of the Society. Full obituary notices and por- 

 traits of both of these eminent Entomologists have already been published in 

 the July and October issues of our magazine. 



It was moved by Mr. Lochhead, and seconded by Mr. Gibson, that the 

 Report of the Council be adopted. (Carried.) 



The President: In putting this motion to the Society, I am sure that you 

 ■will appreciate the fact that our Society is in a very strong and prosperous position. 

 The increase in membership recorded is very gratifying to all members of the 

 Society, who have felt sometimes that possibly the Society was not making the 

 headway they would like. We certainly have no grounds for that fear at the present 

 time. The report of the Council in regard to the Canadian Entomologist is 

 most encouraging and gratifying, showing that our journal is in a very live state. 

 I think we all appreciate the results which are following the efforts of Dr. Walker 

 and those assisting him to make the journal a worthy Canadian journal. It is 

 larger this year than ever before ; the standard o"f the papers is higher, and above 

 all, the character of the illustrations and the method of reproduction are such 

 as have never appeared in our previous issues. Therefore, we have every reason 

 to be proud of our journal at the present time.
