/ 
In presenting the Second Annual Report, the Council feel highly 
gratified at the measure of success which has attended the Society during 
the past year. Confined, as its membership naturally is, to a small numer- 
ical portion of the public, yet it is very evident from the increased number 
of new members that the Society’s efforts are appreciated, and that the 
science of practical Entomology is being gradually forced upon the notice 
of our most intelligent agriculturists and horticulturists. Fifty-four new 
members have entered our ranks this season, several of them being ento- 
mologists of some reputation. Our total number is now 300, made up as

The Quebec Branch has ceased for the present to exist, but we hope 
shortly to see it reorganized. 
Our membership in the United States is steadily imcreasing, and from 
this source we derive much substantial assistance both to our funds and 
our magazine. The publication of the CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST is Still 
continued ; the fourth volume is now nearly completed. The ENxo- 
MOLOGIST is at present the only regularly-issued periodical on this Contr- 
nent devoted to the science of Entomology. We must not omit to 
return our hearty thanks to those friends who have so kindly sent material 
to the editers, and by whose active assistance the latter have been able to 
keep up the good reputation of our periodical. Especially would we 
make honorable mention of Mr. V. T. Chambers, of Covington, Kentucky, 
whose admirable papers on the Micro-Lepidoptera have attracted much 
attention both here and in England.
