58 THE REPORT OF THE ' No. 36 



A few members have dro>pped out during this year (1914) several having left 

 the Province to reside elsewhere. On the other hand, "the executive has several 

 more names on their records for membership at their forthcoming annual meet- 

 ing in January, 1915. 



Many of the members of the Branch are not active collectors or recorders, 

 but they find a knowledge of an entomological nature useful to their business, 

 consequently, with their application for membership before the executive, they 

 are included as members to receive such publications as are issued. 



Respectfully submitted, 



R. C. Treherne, 

 Secretary B. C. Branch Entomological Society, Agassiz, B.C. 



REPORT OF THE CURATOR. 



The collections of the Society have been regularly examined and kept free 

 from museum pests. Only a few additions of Diptera have been made during 

 the last year. The Society is urgently in need of named specimens of Hymen- 

 optera, Diptera and Hemiptera, and contributions from members would be greatly 

 appreciated. 



Respectfully submitted, 



G. Spencer, Curator. 



REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN. 



During the year ending October 31st, 1914, eighteen bound volumes have 

 been added to the library, making the total number on the register 2,20.*^ A 

 large number of periodicals, bulletins and pamphlets are received in exchange for 

 the Canadian Entomologist and as gifts from authors and pu'blishers; these 

 continue to remain unbound owing to the absence of local facilities for doing 

 ihe work properly. During the last three months very few publications have 

 come from the continent of Europe owing to the war, and we have discontinued 

 mailing our magazine to the countries involved. 



The library continues to be used to a large extent by the staff and students 

 of the Biological Department of the Ontario Agricultural College, to whom it is 

 of great value, and also to a limited extent by members of the Society at a 

 distance. 



Respectfully submitted, 



.Charles .7. S. Bethune, Librarian. 



REPORT OP DELEGATE TO THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA. 



The President: I think the brief reference which I made yesterday in my 

 Presidential address to the late Mr. Lyman's attendance at the Royal Society 

 meeting can be taken as a report of the delegate to the Royal Society, if that is 

 vonr wish.
