APPENDIX B. LI 
The Rev. Dr. Fyles contributed a descriptive paper on “ The 
Dragon-flies of the Province of Quebec,” and short papers were read by 
Mr. J. Dearness on “ A parasite of the San José Scale ;? Mr. C. W. Nash, 
“ Notes on Danais archippus” at Toronto; and Mr. P. B. Gregson on 
“ Curious habits of the larvae of Dermestes talpinus.” The last named 
gentleman also furnished an account of the proceedings at the annual 
meeting of the Northwest (Canada) Entomological Society. 
The volume also contains a synopsis of the most important papers 
read at the meeting of the Association of Economic Entomologists, 
which are of great interest and much practical value. 
The funds of the Society are shown by the treasurer’s statement to 
be in a satisfactory condition. The librarian reports valuable additions 
of books and specimens, the number of the former on the shelves being 
almost 1,700. The membership of the branches at Montreal, Quebec, 
and Toronto, has steadily increased, and that of the whole Society grows 
from year to year. All interested in its welfare have much reason to 
be pleased with its continued success, and the valuable scientific and 
practical work which is being performed by its members. 
The annual report, whose contents have just been described, records 
the practical observations and work of the society; for the scientific and 
systematic department, reference must be made to the monthly magazine, 
“The Canadian Entomologist,” the thirty-third annual volume of which 
is now being published. The volume for 1900 consists of 387 pages, and 
is illustrated with seven full-page plates and thirty-three figures from 
original drawings. The contributors number sixty-four, and represent 
Canada, the United States, Mexico, Brazil, Great Britain, Germany, 
Switzerland, and South Africa. As there are upwards of a hundred 
articles, besides short notices and book reviews, it would occupy too 
much space to mention the subject of each. They may, however, be 
grouped as follows: 
Papers on classification: “ North American Yponomeutidae and 
Tineidae,” by Dr. H..G. Dyar; “The Wasps of the super-family Ves- 
poidea and Changes in generic names of Hymenoptera,” by W. H. Ash- 
mead; “The genus Orchelimum,” by Jerome McNeill; “ The genus 
Catocala,” by Prof. G. H. French; “ Notes on Idiocerus (Jassidae),” by 
C. F. Baker; “ The North American Species of Choreutis and its allies,” 
by Prof. C. H. Fernald; “ New Mexico Bees of the genus Coelioxys,” 
by Prof. T. D. A. Cockerell; “Colorado Bees,” by E. 8. G. Titus; “Some 
Species of Acronycta in the British Museum,” by Prof. J. B. Smith; 
“The types of Noctuid Genera,” and a series of papers on the “ Classi- 
fication of Butterflies,” by Prof. A. R. Grote; “ Some Genera of Mites,” 
by N. Banks; and “ The Bibliography of Coccidae,” by G. B. King.
