Publications and Meetings. 



The Entomological Society of British Coluirihia has recently issued and dis- 

 tributed Bulletin No. 4 of their series (October, 1914) recounting the Proceed- 

 ings of the Society at their annual meeting of January 23rd and 24th, 1914. 

 Eifteen hundred issues of the Bulletin have been printed and a copy has been 

 sent to every member of the Ontario Entomological Society and its various branches 

 in the Dominion of Canada, whose name occurs in the recent "list of members." 



In addition, copies have been mailed to entomologists on the mailing list in 

 England, United States and Australia, and further, every member of the British 

 Columbia Fruit Growers' Association will receive a copy through the medium 

 of the Provincial Department of Agriculture. 



Several hundred copies of Bulletin No. 4 still remain, and these will be sent 

 to anyone on application to the Secretary so long as the supply lasts. The 

 executive of the British Columbia Branch, however, reserves the right to retain 

 as many copies of all their publications as they deem fit, now or later, for local 

 distribution in the years to come. 



All members present at the annual meeting of the Ontario Society, (Novem- 

 ber, 1914) will have received, no doubt, their copies of Bulletin No. 4 (and 

 Bulletins 1, 2, 3) of the British 'Columbia Branch. It will be needless, therefore, 

 to recount the titles of the papers presented at the various times.
