, eee the year ten meetings have heen held, one of which, viz.: that in June, held at the residence 
of Mr. Trenholme, in Cote St. Antoine, was primarily devoted to collecting nocturnal lepidoptera. 
The following papers were read during the year :— 
. The North American Callimorphas; A Reply to Critics. H. H. Lyman. 
. Some Insects injurious to the Oak; F. B. Caulfield. 
Notes on the Lepidoptera of Little Metis, P. Que. A. F. Winn. 
A Trip to Mount Mansfield. H. H. Lyman. 
Note on the Occurrence of Erebia Discoidalis at Sudbury, Ont. H. H. Lyman. 
Notes on some species of Coccinellidae found at Montreal. F. B. Caulfield. 
Entomology of Pittsfield, Mass. P. M. Dawson. 
. Note on the occurrence of Lepisesia flavofasciata at Ormstown, P. Que. H. H. Lyman. 
. Various notes on Coleoptera. J. F. Hausen. 
Comparatively little field work was done during the collecting season of 1889, owing to the unusual 
scarcity of insects of those orders studied by the members, and though the prospects for this season are 
not as yet very encouraging, we may hope that more will be done, especially with the increased member- 
ship of the Branch ; and it must also be remembered that even in an unfavourable season good work may 
be done in discovering the preparatory stages and foodplants of insects where these are unknown, or only 
mito known, as was the case last season in regard to Grapta J. album, which was bred by two of our 
members.
