financial statement of the receipts and disbursements during the past year. The 
Council reported the purchase of a large collection of insects from Mr. Johnson 
Pettit, of Grimsby, which was deposited in the rooms of the Society. The arrange- 
ments for the formation of sections in different departments of natural science 
were laid before the Society by the President, and, on motion, duly approved and 
ratified. A scheme was submitted for the rearrangement of the work of the 
officers of the Society, in accordance with which Mr. J. A. Moffat, of Hamilton, is 
to take entire charge of the rooms, library and collections, and be a permanent 
resident official in London. A number of tenders for printing The Canadian 
Entomologist were received and considered; no decision was made at the time, 
but subsequently it was resolved that the tender of the London Printing and 
Lithographing Company should be accepted. Certain regulations regarding the 
library and the use of the rooms were drawn up and adopted. 
In order to benefit members of the Society it was resolved that for a limited 
time the volumes of Zhe Canadian Entomologist, III. to XXI. inclusive, should

1882 to 1889, at 25 cents each; and the new lists of labels for Coleoptera at 25
