1920 ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



Macedonian Labour Corps. Though beyond the age prescribed for military service, 

 his patriotic spirit compelled him to do what lay in his power for the welfare of 

 the Empire. He accordingly went to England and succeeded in obtaining a com- 

 lilission and being sent out with a Labour Corps to Macedonia. Mr. WoUey Dod 

 devoted himself to the Lepidoptera and became the highest authority in Norta 

 America on the Noctuid Moths. He published in the Canadian Entomologist a 

 long series of papers, extending over many years, on the synonymy and elassifi- 

 .'iition of this difficult family. 



REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN. 



Owing to the lack of funds available for the purpose, only one book has been 

 bought for the Library during the year now drawn to a close, namely, " Illustra- 

 tions of the North American species of the genus Catocala " by Drs. Barnes and 

 McDunnough, published by the American Museum of Natural History, New York. 

 Seven bound volumes have been received, making the total number 2,292. A 

 notable gift to the Library has been made by the Rev. Dr. Fyles, a Life-member 

 and Ex-President of the Society. It is a large folio volume, handsomely bound 

 in red leather and entitled '' Illustrations in Natural History." It contains 107 

 water-colour drawings, chiefly of insects, but including a few depicting flowers, 

 -birds, reptiles and other creatures. It was presented by the author " as a token 

 of his appreciation of the great pleasure and profit his connection with the Society 

 lias afforded him." 



The Library continues to receive a large number of periodicals in exchange 

 i'or The Canadian Entomologist and a great variety of bulletins, reports and 

 pamphlets, many of which should be collected into volumes and bound for con- 

 «?enient reference. 



Charles J. S. Bethuxe, Librarian. 



REPORT OF THE CURATOR. 



Mr. Eric Hearle resigned the position of curator last spring on account of 

 ^iiis departure for British Columbia where he has been studying mosquitoes during 

 the summer. In the meantime I have myself, assisted at first by Mr. H. G. Craw- 

 ford and later by Mr, G. J. Spencer, looked after the collection. They are all 

 in good condition and have been so throughout the year. Very few new insects 

 ■have been added.
