The annual meeting of the Society was held at the City of London, during the time of 

 the exhibition of the Agriculture and Arts Association, when the various reports were read 

 and the officers elected for the ensuing year. 



The C'aimdian Entiyinohgist, our monthly organ, appears regularly, and fully maintains 

 its high standing. Its pages during the past year, have been enriched by many articles of 

 the highest practical importance from leading entomologists. The numerous learned and 

 original investigations and discoveries in Entomological science, which have been announced 

 in the pages of the Canadian Entomologist have gained for it a high reputation in foreign 

 countries, as is shown by the largely increased list of exchanges. 



I have also the pleasure in submitting a Report on some of the noxious, beneficial 

 and other insects of this Province, prepared on behalf of the .Society by Mr. William Saun- 

 ders, Rev. C. J. S. Bethune, M.A., B. (jott, and myself. This Report is well supplied with 

 illustrations of the insects described, and will, we believe, prove valuable and interesting. 



I have the honour to remain, sir, 



Your obedient servant, 



Joseph Williams, 

 Secretary-Treasxirer of tlie EntmnologitMl Society of Ontario.

After calling the mooting to order, the President expressed his regret that the Society 

 had during the year lost the valued services of one of its officers. Owing to pre.-sing busi- 

 ness engagements, the Secretary-Treasurer, Mr. J. H. McMechan, had found it necesary to 

 resign. Pending the appointment of a successor, Mr. J. Williams had kindly consented to 

 act as Secretary pro tern., and in this capacity had rendered most valuable and timely 

 assistance.
