42 JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY [Vol. 15 



Before sitting down I should like to say that a good many of you 

 have never visited Guelph, and we should be glad to have any ento- 

 mologist who finds it convenient, on his way home, call at the Agri- 

 cultural College and look over the institution, and come into the ento- 

 mological department and see an3i:hing we have to show you. It is 

 only about forty-five miles. There are several trains a da}^ going there 

 and you can slip up to the college in a few minutes by car when you 

 reach Guelph. I may not be there myself but Professor Baker will 

 show you around. 



In conclusion I should like to say that this is the Christmas season 

 and on behalf of the Canadian Entomologists I wish you all a happy 

 new year. (Applause) 



The members called for some remarks from Mr. Arthur Gibson. 



Mr. Arthur Gibson: I didn't come here tonight prepared to speak. 

 I thought I had "passed the buck" very rightfully to Prof. Caesar, our 

 provincial entomologist, and in whose province our meetings are being 

 held. I am glad, however, to add a word or two to what he has said. 



As I mentioned at the meetings today and yesterday, the entomolo- 

 gists of Canada have welcomed very much oiu" visitors from across the 

 line. Instead of having you accept the invitation of Prof. Caesar to 

 visit Guelph, I would like to have you all take a train from Toronto at 

 night, before you leave for your homes, and arrive in Ottawa the next 

 morning. We could give you just as good a time as he could at Guelph. 

 And then too w^e could take you across to the beautiful city of Hull 

 where prohibition is not yet wholly in effect! 



I would also like to second Prof. Caesar's remarks and express to 

 you all again our sincere pleasure in having you with us at this con- 

 ference. May I also repeat what he said, and wish 3^ou all a very 

 happy new 3^ear. 



ToASTMASTER W. E. Britton: It seems to me that one of the very 

 best things about this meeting is that we have been getting acquainted. 

 I suppose some of our men from the States will have to return, but 

 now they have learned the way I am sure that some day they will 

 visit both Guelph, and Ottawa, and will also probably stop on the way 

 at Hull. 



I would like to propose a toast to the relations between Canada and 

 the United States. May these Nations always stand shoulder to 

 shoulder, heart to heart, and hand to hand, comrades in war, in peace 

 and in entomology. Will you please rise? 



The members drank a toast to the relations between the United 

 States and Canada.
