SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT. Hilt;. XV. 



The niimbcriiis of the pages in Bulletin Xo. 5 runs consecutively with Bul- 

 letin Xi). 4. The type of printing, as you will observe, is a wide difference 

 from previous issues, and in my opinion much more suitable for scientific 

 literature. I may say that Bulletin No. 5 created a most favourable impres- 

 sion in the Entomological world. The remaining papers presented at the two 

 meetings, i. e., Kelowna and Vancouver, still required publication. I separated 

 the technical from the economic, submitting the former to Mr. Kermode, who 

 authorized its publication as Bulletin No. 6. The latter was submitted to the 

 Department of Agriculture, who authorized its publication as Bulletin Xo. 7. 

 The type used in the printing of these two bulletins differs, as can be seen. 

 It was necessary to make arrangements with the King's Printer in regard to 

 the chan.ge of type, as it appeared there was some di..-.culty in changing type 

 to suit our Bulletin Xo. 5. However, I am pleased to say this was overcome, 

 and we have Bulletin Xo. 6 running in consecutive order with Bulletin No. .^, 

 as the "Technical or Systematic Series." The numberin.g of the pages in 

 Bulletin No. 7 commences at 1. hence with Bulletin No. 7 we start a new 

 series called the "Economic Series." 



r think it ad\isable that our future publications should run in these two 

 series, and the pa.ges shou]<l run consecutively, so that after a period of time 

 ari index could be drawn up coverin.g the former issues. I trust this explana- 

 tion is clear, and in accordance with your wishes. I will submit for your 

 approval a resolution coverin.g this point, later. 



Resolved That the Secretary's Report be adopted. Movers: Hugh — 

 Wilson. Carried.
