The Canadun Entomologist. 
VOL. V. LONDON, ONT., OCTOBER, 1873. No. 10 
Be Diet @ ON DA. 
Our readers will observe, from the alteration in our title-page, that a 
change has been made in the occupant of the Editorial chair of this — 
publication. At the annual general meeting of the Society, held at 
London on the 25th ult., the Rev. C. J. S. Bethune tendered his resigna- 
tion of the office of General Editor, and Mr. Wm. Saunders was 
unanimously elected to take his place. This change of personality will 
make no difference in the character and management of this journal, 
except in the direction of improvement in material and greater regularity 
in issue. For some time past Mr. Bethune has desired to vacate the 
position of Editor—not from any diminution in interest in the publication, 
or from any cooling in zeal and attachment to the cause of Entomology 
—but solely because his position as Head Master of Trinity College 
School, entails upon him so much labour and engrosses so much of his 
time, that he cannot satisfactorily perform the duties that properly devolve 
upon the Editor of the CANADIAN ENToMoLocistT. Since the removal of 
the head quarters of the Society to London, the labour attending upon 
the issue of this publication has gradually fallen more and more upon Mr. 
Saunders, though largely shared in by Mr. Reed, the late energetic 
Secretary-Treasurer of the Society. 
The retiring Editor—who will continue to aid in the maintenance of 
the journal, as far as his time will permit—begs to offer his most cordial 
thanks to all those kind friends who have rendered him so much assistance 
in the past, and to request that the same hearty support and co-operation 
may be afforded to his friend and successor.
