TWENTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPOKT 



OF THE 



ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF ONTARIO, 



1896. 



To the Honorable John Dryden, Minister of Agriculture : 



Sir, — I have the honor to transmit to you the Twenty-Seventh Annual Report of 

 the Entomological Society of Ontario. It contains a full account of the proceedings at 

 our thirty-fourth annual meeting, which was held in the city of Loudon, on the 2 1st 

 and 22nd of October last, for the election of officers and the transaction of the general 

 business of the Society. The report includes the addresses delivered and papers read at 

 the meeting, together with the financial statement of the Treasurer and the reports of 

 the various sections and departments of the Society. Considerable attention is given to 

 the outbreak of the "Army Worm" in this Province, last summer, and the destructive 

 work of the " Tussock Moth " to the shade trees in Toronto, and other papers are 

 submitted dealing with matters of economic and scientific interest in connection with the 

 study of Entomology. 



The Canadian Entomologist, the monthly magazine issued by the Society, has now 

 completed its twenty-eighth volume, which will be found to contain a large number of 

 papers of a highly scientific character contributed by the most distinguished students of 

 this branch of science in Canada and elsewhere. 



I have the honor to be, Sir, 



Tour obedient servant, 



CHARLES J. S. BETHUNE, 



Editor.
