The British Columbia Entomological Society has recently be- 

 come affiliated with us, and is now the B.C. Branch of the Entomological 

 Society of Ontario. Thus are we " lengthening our cords and strength- 

 ening our stakes." 



During the winter months regular classes have been held fort- 

 nightly in London for the study of entomology, under the direction of 

 Mr. S. B. McCready, Science Master of the London Collegiate Institute, 

 and now Nature Study Professor at the ^lacDonald Institute, Guelph, 

 assisted by Dr. Bethune. 



These meetings have been well attended, chiefly by tc-achers in the 

 ])ublic schools of the city. 



Similar instruction has been begim in Botany and will be carried 

 on during the summer, excursions being made for specimens to different 

 parts of the surrounding country. 



A number of lectures illustrated with lantern pictures on noxious, 

 beneficial and interesting insects have been given by Dr. Bethune in 

 London and a few places in the neighbourhood. 



Prof. Lochhead of Guelph has given lectures on similar subjects 

 in Hamilton and elsewhere. 



The library and collections of the Societv are open to the public 

 on three afternoons in each week and attract a fair number of visitors.
