APPENDIX E CIX 



It is confidently expected tliat this number will be still more increased 

 in view of the greater attractions which will be afforded by the in- 

 creased facilities which it is hoped will be offered by the society in 

 the not very distant future. We have to regret the death of one of 

 our members, that of the late Hon. E. Préfontaine. 



The society is greatly indebted to Mr. Alfred Grifiin for his 

 valuable and enthusiastic services cheerfully placed at its disposal.

As delegate from the Entomological Society of Ontario, it is my 

 pleasing duty to report another year of steady progress, and that our 

 membership is increasing very rapidly. At your last meeting] the 

 establishment of a branch in British Columbia was mentioned, and 

 since then another has been formed in Guelph, Ont., where there are 

 a number of active and enthusiastic entomologists.
