ENTOMOLOGTCAL SOCIETY OF CANADA. 61 



similar catalogues of the other orders as soon as possible ; and that Mr. Saun- 

 ders, Prof. Croft, and Mr. Billings, be a committee on Coleoptera ; and Prof. 

 Hincks, Mr. Saunders, and Dr. Morris, on Lepidoptera. — Carried. 



The committee are very anxious to secure the co-operation of all persons 

 having either named collections or lists of species. Any information which 

 would aid in bringing out full and accurate catalogues, should be communicated 

 without delay to Mr. Saunders or Prof. Hincks. 



Moved and seconded, — That a supply of entomological pins and sheet cork, for 

 lining cabinets, be kept on hand, to be furnished to members at the lowest cost 

 prices. — Carried. 



It is intended ultimately to keep all the apparatus required in capturing and 

 preserving insects. 



Moved and seconded, — That the Rev. Charles Bethune, B.A., be requested to 

 use influence to advance the interests of this society among Naturalists in 

 Great Britain. — Carried. 



A verbal communication was made by Dr. Morris, on insects captured in the 

 vicinity of Orillia, during the summer of 1863. Among the interesting speci- 

 mens exhibited by Dr. Morris, were several examples of Colias edusa, so seldom 

 met with in Canada, — only two or three individuals having been taken as yet. 

 Dr. Morris remarked that this insect seems to differ from the C. edusa of British 

 Naturalists, in its habits of flight, &c., which seems to indicate either a distinct 

 species or very wide variations. 



Both sexes of Terias lesa, also very rare in Canada, had been captured. 



A species of Anhenodes, taken by Mr. F. Grant, of Orillia, was also exhibited. 

 The general appearance of the insect closely resembled that of A. septentrionit, 

 of which it is probably a variety. The form of the rostrum is so peculiar, as to 

 lead Dr. Morris to think that possibly there may be two species with us. 



The following papers were presented by Mr, Hubbert : 



(1) Notes on insects captured near Kingston. 1863, 



(2) What the insects do in January. 



The meeting then adjourned.
