I also have thirty-two species of Tenthreainiaie, as follows : — 



Cirubex amerieaua. Lophynis abiatis. 



Tenthredo uigroeostata. Steoulyogaster flclus. 



Teuthredo vai'ipictus. Haplocaiiipa spissipes. 



Tenthredo varicgatus. Hylotoma clavicoruis. 



Teuthredo mellina. Hylotoma abdominalis. 



Tenthredo morosa. Hylotoma mcleayi. 



Tenthredo evansii. Monophaduus tibi;e. 



TJrocerus cyaneus. Macrophya tibiator. 



Urocerus albieornis. Macrophya fumator. 



Sirex fiavicornis. Pachynematiis extensiconiis. 



Sirex abdominalis. Pachynematus clypeatus. 



Dolerus bicolor. Poecilosoma maculata. 



Dolerus aprilis. Trichiocamiius gregarius. 



Jlonohadnius rubi. Haplocampa montana. 



Mouohadmus medius. T'bia amerieaua. 



Monostegia roste. 

 1 also have siime unnamed si)ec-ies in this groiiii. and would feel it a fnvdui' tn 

 exchange with any of the members, either in this family or any other in which they 

 are interested. In the eai-ly days of our Society we had, if I remember rightly, a 

 considerable list of insects compiled by the different members, and if this list is still 

 preserved it would no doubt be of value to draw up a catalogue of British Columbia 

 entomology, or perhaps a copy might be made and utilized in the forthcoming list at 

 present being worked up by our parent Society on Canadian iusects. 



I regret I am unable to be present at this meeting, but the distance is somewhat 

 great. I regret also not having been able to attend the Vernon meeting during last 

 summer, but nevertheless the Society lias my best wishes and continued support. 



REPORT OF THE FIFTIETH ANNUAL (JUBILEE) MEETING OF THE 

 ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF ONTARIO. 



I!v 1!. C. TrEHEHNE, EXPEIilMENTAL FARM, AgASSIZ. 



On August l!Tth. 2Sth. and 20th, 1913. at the Ontario Agricultural College, 

 fiuelph. Ontario, a special meeting of the Ontario Entomological Society took place, 

 in commemoration of the fact that the Society had been in existence and active for 

 exactl.v fifty year.s. The meeting was not to be missed, as it was of historic interest 

 to all interested in the science of entomology in Canada. Through the courtesy of 

 Dr. C. Gordon Hewitt. Dominion Entomologist. I was permitted to suspend my 

 operations at Agassiz for a period of three weeks to attend this meeting at Guelpli. 

 and to transact other business of a personal as well as official character. 



As we are out here an integral unit in the entomological work of the Dominion 

 of Canada, and a branch of the parent Society in Ontario, apart from the interest 

 tills Jubilee meeting will arouse in our member.s. I believe it well to record in our 

 annals the origin, formation, and growth of this Ontario Society, which, as I will 

 show in a few moments, was and is the Entomological Society of Canada. I do 

 not believe I could do better than to quote word for word the synojisis that was 

 printed as an introduction to the programme arranged for the occasion : — 



'• The first meeting of entomologists in Canada was held in September, isi;2. 

 II was then decided to form an entomological society, whose chief objects were the 

 fiirination of a collection of Canadian insects, the interchange of duplicate material, 

 and the holding of meetings with the object of advancing the science. Accordingly, 

 in April, ].S63, the Entomological Society of Canada was orgauixed. the original 

 membership being twenty-tive. The publication of a .series of valuable papers was 

 begun, and it is a matter of great gratification to know that we shall have with 

 lis at our Jubilee meeting the coiilriliutors of the first two jiapers. and two of the 

 founders of the Society. Dr. P.etbnne and Dr. Win. S.iiiiiders. C.M.C. The activity
