RESOLUTION 
ON THE DEATH OF WILLIAM SAUNDERS. 
The death of William Saunders, C. M. G., L. L. D. on Sep- 
tember 13th, 1914, at the age of seventy-nine years removed 
one of the pioneers of Entomology on this continent. 
As one of the founders of the Entomological Society of 
Ontario in 1863 and of ‘The Candian Entomologist” in 1868, 
which journal he edited successfully from 1874 to 1886, and as 
author of ‘‘Insects Injurious to Fruits’’ published in 1883, he 
rendered meritorious services to the science of Entomology 
in its varied aspects. His active interest in the science was 
only limited by his appointment in 1886 as Director of the 
Experimental Farms system of the Canadian Department of 
Agriculture, the organization and development of which stands 
as an enduring monument to his tireless spirit and industrious 
zeal. 
He was elected a Fellow of our Society in 1907 and as a 
tribute to his memory and as a public acknowledgment of 
his conspicuous services in the development of Entomology, 
which should serve as an example to the younger generation, 
we recommend that this record be entered 1n the minutes of the 
Society and published in the Annals.
