A number of book notice?, current publications of Entomological literature, corres-

 mention the serious loss to the Society, from death, of two of its very active members, 

 Mr. John M. Denton of London, and Captain J. Gamble Geddes, of Toronto. 



The thirty-fourth Annual Meeting of the Society was held in its rooms in London, 

 on Wednesday and Thursday, the 21st and 22nd of October, 1896. A very full report of 

 these proceedings is given in the Annual Eeport published by the Society (in addition to 

 the Monthly Magazine) to the Department of Agriculture of the Province of Ontario. 



This report consists or 127 pages replete with numerous illustrations. Two plates 

 of these illustrations are worthy of particular mention as illustrating the study of 

 economic entomology in the public schools, a work which should be heartily commended. 



In addition to the report of the proceedings of the parent Society in which is 

 embodied an extended and interesting Annual Address from the President, it contains 

 also — 



The reports of the Geological, Botanical, and Microscopical Sections of the Entomo- 

 logical Society.
