From the Treasurer's report it will be seen that there is at present a balance on hand 

 of $319.13, which is a larger amount than usual. The greatest care has been taken to 

 keep the expenditure within due limits, as hitherto the amount remaining at the time of 

 the annual meeting has not proved sufficient to carry on the work of the Society till the 

 close of the year, during which time little or no money is received by the Society. The 

 amount now on hand will all be required for necessary expenses before the annual 

 subscriptions begin to be paid in January. 



The Society was represented at the meeting of the Royal Society of Canada, which 

 was held at Ottawa at the end of May, by your President, Dr. Bethune, who was subse- 

 quently elected a Fellow of the Society. During the present month of August important 

 meetings were held at Rochester, N. Y., at which the Society was represented by the 

 President and Mr. Fletcher. It is gratifying to record that the former was elected first 

 Vice-President of the Association of Economic Entomologists of North America, and 

 President of the Entomological Club of the American Association for the Advancement 

 of Science for the ensuing year. 



All which is respectfully submitted. 



(Signed) Charles J. S. Bethune, President.
