XI. — From The Entomological Society of Ontario, through 

 John D. Evans. 



During the past year the Entomological Society of Ontario has 

 drifted along in its usual even tenor, doing good work and progressing 

 steadily, and has passed the, upwards of, two score years of its existence. 



The forty-first annual meeting was held in October last, in its new, 

 commodious and accessible quarters in the Public Library Building, 

 Queen's Ave., London. The attendance was good, and among those 

 present were four representatives of the gentler sex. From a distance 

 may be mentioned the presence of Mr. T, N. Willing, Chief Inspector of 

 Weeds for the Department of Agriculture, Eegina, N.W.T., and from 

 among our neighbours from across the border we gladly hailed the pre- 

 sence of an oft contributor to our magazine in the person of Professor 

 Wickham, of the University of Iowa, Iowa City. 



After the usual routine of business at the morning session, the 

 president opened the proceedings in the afternoon, at which the reports 

 of the several directors on the injurious insects of the year were read.
