Dr. Woolverton exhibited a very perfect and beautiful trilobite, Phacops bufo, from 

 the Devonian rocks in the neighborhood, and made some iateresfcing remarks upon the 

 geology of the district. 



Mr. Bowman made a verbal report upon the proceedings of the Microscopical Sec- 

 tion during the past season. 



Mr. W. Scarrow suggested that the Council should be instructed to find more suit- 

 able quarters for the Society, as the present room was entirely inadequate for the purpose. 

 The matter was discussed at some length by several of the members, and it was finally 

 decided that the officers of the Society resident in London should be empowered to look 

 for satisfactory accommodation, and take whatever steps might be necessary to secure it. 



A very entertaining and interesting paper was then read by the Rev. T. vV, Fyles 

 on '• Food, Feeders and Fed," which was highly appreciated by the audience. 



The meeting adjourned at 10. .30 p.m.

The meeting was called to order by the President at 10 o'clock a.m. 



The first paper read was by Mr. H. A. Stevenson describing an attack by the moth, 

 Ephestia interpuiictella, in a warehouse in London, and the successful manner in which 

 it had been dealt with. 



Dr. Bethune then read an interesting paper on " The Economic Value of Parasit- 

 ism,' by Prof. F. M. Webster, of Wooster, Ohio. Mr. Harrington, in commenting on 

 the paper, stated that the canker worms which had been so injuriously abundant about 

 Ottawa for two or three yeais, were this season almost exterminated by their parasites. 



Mr. Mofiat presented papers on " A re-appearance of Pieris Protodice," and " Re- 

 marks on the Structure of the Undeveloped Wings of the Saturniadte." 



A paper by Prof, L R. Jones, of the Agricultural Experiment Station at Burlington,

 pages of this Report.] 



Resolutions regarding the binding of periodicals and the case of members in arrears 

 with their subscriptions, were brought forward and discussed, and action taken upon them. 



The remainder of the morning was spent in examining and determining specimens 

 which had been brought to the meeting by various members. At twelve o'clock the pro 

 ceedings were brought to a close, all who had taken part in them having much enjoyed 

 their annual gathering and the many interesting papers brought before them.
