cation." An excursion was also held to Puslinch Lake, about 9 miles 

 from the college, many specimens of interest being collected. 



The branches of the Society at Quebec, Montreal, Toronto, Guelph, 

 and Vancouver, have all been actively at work during 1907, and much 

 useful work in entomology is being thus encouraged at all of these cen- 

 tres. Eegular meetings during the winter have been held by all of these 

 branches of the Society, and many interesting papers have been presented 

 and discussed. 



During the year, 22 bound volmnes have been added to the Society's 

 library at Guelph, besides a large number of periodicals, bulletins, and 

 pamphlets. Many of these latter are being bound up into permanent 

 volumes. This library, which is one of the most complete entomological 

 libraries in America, is continually being used by members of the Society 

 and by students specializing in entomology at the Ontario Agricultural 

 College. 



The collections of insects belonging to the Society have been mater- 

 ially added to, during the year, and considerable work has been done in 

 going through the cabinets, and re-arranging the specimens. 



The Canadian Entomologist, which is published by the Society, is 

 now in its 40th volume. Volume XXXIX, which ended with the Decem- 

 ber, 1907, number comprised 432 pages, with 11 full page plates, and 23 

 figures in the text. No less than 73 different entomologists contributed 

 to the volume, and 11 new genera, 216 new species, and 5 new varieties 

 are described. 



These papers are of a high character, and in a report like this, it is 

 impossible to mention very many of them. Some of the more important 

 however, are: — "New Micro -lepidoptera, '' by Mr. W. D. Kearfott;
