in any nf tlic onlrrs, it is almost necessary, as the inseet fauna of liic 

 different elimatic belts of the ]irovinee vary so niueh. We iiave moist 

 belts, dry !)i'lts. hiizh ami low altitudes, and I think we have active mem- 

 bers in all of tliese. 



Our active members in the various orders have continued their work 

 during the past year and have added considerably to our knowledj;e of 

 the Entomology of B. V. I would particularly mention the work of the 

 following members who specialize in their orders: Messrs. E. H. Black- 

 more, in Geometridae and Microlepidoptera ; R. S. Sherman, in Diptera; 

 R. Glendenning. in the Ajihids: \V. Downes. in the Ilemiptera; E. R. Buck- 

 ell, in the Orthoptera. ^lan.v other mend)ers have also been active in 

 gathering material which has added vastly to the list of known species 

 occuring in B. C. 



In such generall.v studied order, even as the Lepidoptera, we have no 

 cheek list an.vwhere near up to date, and liei'e is a labor of love and value 

 for such as ha\-e the necessar.v knowledge and the enterprise to carry it 

 out. 



Some of the other orders are almost virgin fields as far as B. ('. is 

 concerned, and offer to those who take them up the incentive of almost 

 untrodden ground and new discoveries. 



Life is never dull for those who have the desire to delve into the 

 mv'steries and beauties of nature, and a hobby, if you like to call it such, 

 is a grand thing to fall back upon. and. I have even heard, conduces to 

 longevit.v. 



I trust our deliberations may residt in much benefit to the Society 

 during the coming year.

ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS TO THE LIST OF 



BRITISH COLUMBIA ORTHOPTERA 



By E. R. Bt'ckell. 



In the Proceedings of the British Columbia Entomological Societ.v 

 for 1922 (Sj'stematic series No. 20. j there was published a list of the 

 Dermaptera and Orthoptera recorded fi-om British Columbia prior to 

 11122. Tlie list was intended as a basis on which to build up an anthentic 

 check list of the Dermaptera and Orthoptera of liritish Columbia. 



In the present paper twelve species are addeil to the list, some 

 necessary corrections made, and occasional not<>s of intei-est are added 

 to species previously listed.
