The President's Address was read by Professor Lochhead, and appears in full 

 below. 



The Annual Address of the Society was then delivered by Dr. C. Gordon 

 Hewitt, Dominion Entomologist, Ottawa. 



Dr. Hewitt spoke upon " Insect Parasitism." The nature of the parasites and 

 their method of work were very clearly discussed. The lecturer dwelt upon the 

 agency of these friendly insects in controlling such pests as the Spruce Bud Worm, 

 in Canada, and the Larch Saw-fly in Europe; and described the efforts being made 

 to introduce into America European parasites of the Brown-tail Moth, the Gypsy 

 Moth, and the Larch Saw-fly. 



The lecture was fully illustrated by a series of excellent lantern slides; and was 

 much appreciated by the large audience.
