I have also the pleasure of submitting herewith a Report on some of the Noxious, Bene- 

 fical and Other Insects of this Province, which has been prepared on behalf of the Society by 

 the Rev. C. J. S. Bethune, M.A., Mr. Wm. Saunders and Mr E. B. Reed. 



The C.\nadian Entomologist, the organ of the Society is still issued monthly, and 

 has now nearly reached the completion of its .sixth volume, the regular issue of our journal 

 for the past six years has enabled us with the help of our esteemed contributors to disseminate 

 a vast amount of practical, as well as scientific knoweledge relating to Entomology which has 

 done much towards increasing the interest felt in this branch of Natural History so important 

 to the agriculturist. 



In order to illustrate the pages of this Report, we have procured as large a number of 

 new wood cuts and electrotypes as the limited means at our disposal would admit of, we can 

 only regret that it is not more profusely illustrated as we feel sure that such illustrations add 

 greatly to the interest and usefulness of our report. 



I have the honour to remain, sir, 



Your obedient servant, 



J. H. McMechan, 

 Secretary-Treasurer Entomological Society of Ontario.
