TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT 



OF THE 



ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF ONTARIO- 



To the Honorable the Minister of Agriculture : 



Sir, — I have the honor to present herewith the twentj'-second annual report of the 

 Entomological Society of Ontario, in accordance with the provisions of our Act of 

 Incorporation. 



The annual meeting of the Society was held in London, on the 25th and 26th of 

 November, 1891 ; the lateness of the meeting being caused by the severe illness of our 

 President, who was on that account unable to attend earlier. At this meeting many 

 papers of interest were read, the reports of officers received, officers for the ensuing year 

 elected, and general business connected with the conduct of the Society transacted. The 

 first reports were al.so received from the sections engaged on other branches of science, by 

 whose work the Society hopes to be much benefited. The various reports of the officers 

 and sections, together with the audited annual statement of the Treasurer, the annual 

 address of the President, the papers read at the annual meeting and the report of our 

 delegate to the Royal Society of Canada, will be found in the following pages. There is 

 also presented a full report of the very important meeting of the Association of Economic 

 Entomologists held in Washington in August last, under the presidency of our Vice- 

 President, Mr. James Fletcher. This Society was first organised in Toronto in 1889, and 

 now includes amongst its members all the leading scientists in North America who are 

 engaged in the study of practical entomology ; its proceedings are therefore of the highest 

 interest and value to all concerned in any department of agriculture or horticulture. 



The Canadian Entomologist coi tinues to be issued regularly and is now the oldest 

 Entomological publication in America. It numbers amongst its contributors the ablest 

 students of the science in the United States as well as in Canada, and also some celebrated 

 Entomologists in Europe. 



I have the honor to be. Sir, 



Your obedient servant, 



W. E. SAUNDERS, 



Secretary.
