of inquiry. I desire especially to emphasize the cordial relation- 

 ships which have been maintained during all these years between 

 students living south of the St. Lawrence with those living 

 north of that river. One of the best of all the entomological 

 journals on the Continent is the "Canadian Entomologist." 

 As it is one of the oldest, so it is one of the best-sustained 

 publications of its kind. "The Entomological Society of 

 Ontario" is a splendid organization, in which most of the leading 

 workers within the United States have felt it an honor to have 

 membership. For all practical purposes the entomologists of 

 British North America and of the United States form one 

 united brotherhood. Behold how good and pleasant it is for us 

 thus to dwell together in unity ! May I not express the hope that 

 the friendly relationship which has so long been maintained 

 among us may remain indissoluble, and the same spirit which 

 has prevailed between these two great bodies of workers in the 

 New World may extend to all brotherhoods of other nations, and 

 that through our scientific friendships we all may help to bring 

 in the reign of universal peace, the thought of which is dominant 

 among us, and is emphasized by the anniversary of the birth of 

 The Prince of Peace, which we have just celebrated.
