gone for his health, he bequeathed to the Society his large cabinet of 
fifteen drawers, and a good useful microscope. ‘The former will be 
devoted to the reception of a collection of local insects, while the latter

and investigation. 
It has been a source of no small gratification to the editor and his 
coadjutors to receive so many kind expressions of appreciation of their 
“ Annual Report to the Legislature of Ontario,” which has been recently —

gical labours, to which they regret they are unable to devote more than a 
small proportion of their time, each of them being necessarily engaged in

mand. ‘They are happy to be able to record that the issue of the CaNna- 
DIAN ENTOMOLOGIST during the current year has so far been regular and 
punctual,.and they trust that it will continue to be so in future. They

whose contributions have given their publication a scientific status that it 
would not otherwise have attained. ‘They earnestly trust that these 
favours will be continued to them, and that many others also will be led 
to join their corps of correspondents, and afford tidings of the insect world 
from all parts of the continent of America.

not yet paid their subscriptions, he trusts that this intimation will. suffice, 
and that they will kindly send him the amounts respectively due Di them 
at their earliest possible convenience.
