By the kindness of Dr. Creelman the visitors were entertained in the College 

 Eesidence during their stay in Guelph. This arrangement added much to their 

 pleasure by affording many opportunities for social converse, and also saved 

 the time usually spent in travelling to and from the town. 



During the morning of Wednesday, Dec. 4th, a meeting of the Council was 

 held, at which various matters of business were brought up and discussed. It 

 was decided that the next place of meeting be Ottawa, the date to be fixed later. 

 A suggestion was made and afterwards adopted at the general meeting, that the 

 Canadian Entomologist be issued in ten instead of twelve numbers, but that 

 the quantity of matter remain as heretofore; and also that the size of the page 

 be increased to conform with the majority of scientific publications. 



In the afternoon the Society met at 1.30 o'clock. After opening the meeting 

 the President read a letter from Mr. Wolley Dod, from Mesopotamia, which was 

 much appreciated. The following message, proposed by Messrs. Gibson and Tothill, 

 was sent to Dr. Fyles: — 



" Entomologists from Canada and the United States now in session at 

 Guelph, extend to vou their warmest greetings and regret your inability to 

 attend." 



The Eeports of the Council, Treasurer, Librarian and Curator were then 

 read and adopted. The Eeports of the various Branches, the delegate to the 

 Eoyal Society of Canada, and the Directors were taken as read.
