REPORT OF THE SECRETARY-TREASURER 



I have pleasure in submitting the report of the work of the B. C. 

 Entomological Society for the year 1920. 



The membership of the Society continues to increase, and now 

 numbers forty-five members, nearly all of whom are paid up, only three, 

 in fact, being in arrears with their dues, which is satisfactory and shows 

 the continued and growing interest in the work of the Society. 



Pursuant to a motion passed at last year's meeting, the Advisory 

 I'oard duly considered the question of providing prizes for the best col- 

 lections of insects made by public school children, and it was decided, at 

 a meeting held on May 10th, that this should take the form of a challenge 

 cup, to be ofifered for competition at the Provincial Fair at New West- 

 minster. The sum of fifty dollars was set aside for this purpose and a 

 handsome cup has been purchased. This was offered for competition 

 at the last Provincial Fall Fair, and was won by John Norcjuay School. 

 South Vancouver. In addition to this, a prize of $5.00 was awarded at 

 Langley Fall Fair. This prize was offered by the Langley Agricultural 

 Association in error, but as it is not the wish of the Society to discourage 

 any competitor, the Advisory Board authijrized that the jjrize money 

 be paid.
