TWENTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT 



ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF ONTARIO 



1897. 



To the Honorable John Dry den, Minister of Agriculture ; 



Sir, — I have the honour to transmit to you the twenty-eighth annual report of the 

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

 thirty-fifth annual meeting which was held in the City of London, on the 12th and 13th 

 of October last, for the election of officers, the reading of papers and the transaction of 

 the general business of the Society. The report includes the financial statement of the 

 Treasurer and the reports of the various sections and departments of the Society, as well 

 as the papers read and addresses delivered during the course of the meeting. Much 

 attention was given to the alarming outbreak of the San Jose Scale insect in various 

 parts of Ontario, and a valuable paper on the subject is included in this report. 



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

 completed its twenty-ninth volume, and begun the publication of the thirtieth ; this is a 

 record unequalled by any other monthly publication on entomology that has appeared in 

 North America. The recently completed volume will be found to contain a large number 

 of highly scientific and valuable papers contributed by the most eminent students of this 

 department of science in Canada and elsewhere. 



I have the honor to be, Sir, 



Your obedient servantj
