PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS 



To the Members of the British Columbia Entomological Society: — 



Gentlemen, 



It is with much pleasure that I welcome you to the 23rd Annual 

 Meeting of the B. C. Entomological Society. 



I am not going to weary you with a lengthy address, but will merely 

 touch on a few matters which I think will form the subject of discussion 

 during the meeting. 



As you have learned from the report of the Secretary-Treasurer, 

 the financial condition of the Society is satisfactory, there being a good 

 balance on the right side. 



The meeting this year is much later than usual owing to the fact 

 the Secretary was in Ottawa most of tlie winter, and tliis may possibly 

 militate to a certain extent against the attendance, especially in view 

 of the fact that the spring is so much earlier than usual, and, as a con- 

 sequence, tield work is almost in full swing. 



In a territory so extensive as the Province of B. C, it is always a 

 very difficult matter to get many of the members together at any one 

 time, scattered as tlie.y are over such a wide area, but more co-operation 

 is possible through correspondence and exchange of material, etc., bet- 

 ween members, and I should like to see more of this than exists at present, 

 in fact to those of us who take up the study of entomology and who 

 desire to have anything like a representative collection of B. C. material
