 the opening address of Mr. James Fletcher (given in the absence of the president), and 

 telling of the injurious insects of the year and the various modes of dealing with them ; 

 and the annual address of the president, Mr. W. Hague Harrington, likewise containing 

 much valuable information on these subjects. These are followed by contributions from 

 members of the Socitty, viz. :

Then comes a full report of the annual mpeting of the Association of Economic 

 Entomologists, furnished by Mr. L. O. Howard, of the Division of P^ntomology, Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture, ^^''ashington, D.C., together with some of the mosc generally 

 interesting papers read at the meeting. Some of these are by the most eminent and prac- 

 tical entomologists of the United States, and all of them are valuable. The closing pages 

 of the report are devoted to book notice3, obituaries, etc. 



The Canadian Entomologist, the Society's monthly organ, completed at the end of 

 the year its 25th volume. This volume contiins descriptions of no less than 162 new 

 species of insects. The contributors to its pages number 56. Among them are men of 

 world-wide reputation. 



That the Society may be of service to the community at large, by teaching our farm- 

 ers, gardeners and fruit growers the life histories ot their insect friends and insect foes, 

 and by showing them how the injurious attacks of the latter are carried on, and what steps 

 should be taken to meet and nullify them is, we believe, the earnest desire of every one 

 of its numerous members. 



Appended will be found a list of the officers of the Society. 



The whole is respectfully submitted.
