CXXII ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 
Among the papers may be mentioned :— 
“ Parasitism of the Codling Moth, Carpocapsa pomonella,” by Dr. 
W. Brodie. 
“A Hunt for a Borer,’ by Mr. H. H. Lyman. 
“Insect Galls of Ontario,” by Mr. T. D. Jarvis. 
‘ Hemiptera,” by Rev. T. W. Fyles. 
“Tnsects Injurious to Ontario Crops, 1906,” by Dr. Jas. Fletcher. 
“ Injurious Insects of 1906,” by Rev. C. J. S. Bethune. 
Dr. Fletcher’s Entomological Record is getting larger and more 
valuable each year, and this year requires 19 pages which are full of 
notes on the occurrence and distribution of the rarer Canadian species 
of insects. 
The British Columbia branch have continued to issue their quar- 
terly bulletins, which are extremely useful to students of western 
insects, and form a means of communication between the members 
whose homes are many miles apart. 
The annual meeting of the society was held at Guelph on October 
10th and 1ith, and devoted a considerable amount of time to the 
Codling moth, and the San José Scale—two of the worst enemies of 
the fruit-grower. 
I hope it is not out of order for me to conclude by calling your 
attention to the fact that another bad enemy of the fruit-grower has 
invaded Canada from the New England States, the Brown-tail Moth— 
Euproctis chrysorrhcea. Several specimens have been taken, and also 
webs of the hibernating caterpillars in Nova Scotia, at Lakeville and 
Wolfville, and if the species is allowed to get a foothold, it will be a 
calamity for the owners of the celebrated apple orchards of the Anna- 
polis Valley.
