British Columbia Entomological Society 



PROCEEDINGS, 1917 



The Sixteenth Annual Meeting of the Entomological Society of 

 British Columbia was held in the Provincial Museum, Parliament 

 Buildings, Victoria, B.C., on March 17th, 1917. 



The meeting was called to order by the President, Mr. E. H. Black- 

 more, of Victoria, at 9.30 a.m., and was one of the best that the Society 

 has ever held. The large proportion of active workers present, the 

 enthusiasm displayed, and the spirited discussion on many of the papers 

 read being very gratifying to those officers of the Society who were 

 responsible for the getting up of the programme. 



The report of the Secretary-Treasurer was highly satisfactory, and 

 showed, amongst other things, an increase of membership and a very 

 large correspondence, which told of the interest taken by many outside 

 institutions and individuals in the activities of the Society. 



Eleven papers were read, six being on systematic lines, five on 

 economic subjects, and one of general interest. 



The day's proceedings closed at 6 p.m., when the election of officers 

 for the year 1917 was proceeded with, and resulted as follows:
