The Treasurer explained the various items of receipts and expenditure and stated 

 that it would require the closest economy to carry on the work of the Society during the 

 remainder of the year. Dr. Bethune and Mr. Fletcher spoke in commendation of the 

 valuable services of Mr. Balkwill and of the high appreciation in which they^were held by 

 the members of the Society. 



Mr. W. E. Saunders gave an account of the proceedings of the local members of the 

 council with regard to obtaining more suitable and commodious rooms for the Society. 

 After a long discussion, which was participated in by most of the members present, it was 

 resolved that the matter be left in the hands of the local members of the council, who 

 were authorized to take whatever action seemed to them most desirable for the welfare 

 of the Society. 



An application from the Senate of the Western University of Ontario was read 

 requesting that their students in geology should be permitted to attend, free of charge, 

 the meetings of the geological section of the Society. After some consideration it was 

 resolved that the matter should be left in the hands of Dr. Woolverton, who is to deliver 

 the lectures, and that he should have the liberty, which is shared by all the members, of 

 introducing friends to the meetings of the section. 



The following report of the council was next read and adopted : 



REPORT OF THE COUNCIL. 



The council of the Entomological Society of Ontario have much pleasure in pre- 

 senting the following report of their proceedings during the past year : 



They have much satisfaction in stating that the membership of the Society in 

 London, and in the Province of Ontario generally, has largely increased, and that 

 additions have also been made to our numbers in other parts of the Dominion, 

 especially in British Columbia. The list of subscribers in the tJnited States and Europe 

 has continued about the same. The total number of names on our books is now con- 

 siderably larger than ever before since the formation of the Society, while the interest 

 in its work has by no means diminished.
