It is with sincere regret that the Toronto Branch record the death of Mr. 

 Chas. M. Snazelle, who had been a member since 1912, During the last two years 

 he had been unable to attend the meetings owing to business obligations in con- 

 nection with war work. Mr. Snazelle was an enthusiastic student of nature both 

 in entomology and in other branches, and his presence at our meetings will be 

 greatly missed through the coming days.
