ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF ONTAEIO. 



The reports of the geological, microscopical and botanical sections are presented 

 herewith. They have held regular meetings during the past season and have accom- 

 plished much satisfactory work. The ornithological section has become so much reduced 

 in numbers that no meetings have been held, but it is confidently expected that there 

 will be a revival of interest next year. 



The Society was represented by the Rev. T. W, Fyles at the annual meeting of the 

 Eoyal Society of Canada held in Ottawa in May last. His report is also presented 

 herewith. 



All of which is respectfully submitted, 



W. E. Saunders, 



Secretary. 



Mr. Lyman read the report of the Montreal branch as follows :

Report of Council. 



In presenting their twenty-second annual report the council have much pleasure in 

 congratulating the branch upon having unquestionably come of age,* and feel that so long 

 a period of continued and unbroken existence is worthy of i-emark in view of the very 

 small numbers interested in this pursuit.

 tions were read : 



An hour at Hochelaga, A. F. Winn.

How the forest of the district of Bedford was swept away. Rev. T. W. Fyles. 



Note on the occurrence of of Chlonohas Tarpeia in North America, H. H. Lyman. 



Four new memb rs have been added to the brauch's roll and it is to be hoped that 

 increased energy will be shown in the study of the many inviting subjects which this de- 

 partment of science holds out to those students who are really in earnest in the pursuit 

 of knowledge. 



The Treasurer's report shows that the finances of the branch are in a healthy con- 

 dition. 



Respectfully submitted on behalf of the council.
