various modes of dealing with them ; and the annual address of the piesident, Mr. W.Hague Harring-

 tributions from members of the society, viz. : —

Then comes a full report of the annual meeting of the Association of Economic Entomologists, 

 furnished by Mr. L. O. Howard, of the Division of Entomology, Department of Agi'iculiure, Washing- 

 ton, D.C., together with some of the most generally interesting papers read at the meeting. Some 

 of these are by the most eminent and practical entomologists of the United States, and all of them are 

 valuable. The closing pages of the report are devoted to book notices, obituaries, etc. 



The ' Canadian Entomologist,' the society's monthly organ, completed at the end of the year its 

 25th volume. This volume contains descriptions of no less than 162 new species of insects. The 

 contributors to its pages number 56. Amongst them are men of world-wide reputation. 



That the society may be of service to the community at large, by teaching our farmers, gar-. 

 deners and fruit-growers the life-histories of their insect friends and insect foes, and by showing them 

 how the injurious attacks of the latter are carried on and what steps should be taken to meet and 

 nullify them is, we believe, the earnest desire of every one of its numerous members. 



Appended will be found a list of the officers of the society.
