co-operation. It is the speaker's opinion that we have not yet reached the prac- 

 tical limits in large scale repressive work, a type of activity which appears to be 

 in its infancy and one, in the speaker's judgment, as worthy of recognition and 

 development as the commonly, more highly regarded, investigative activities. 



THURSDAY MORNING. 



The session was commenced with the election of the officers for the ensuing 

 year, the results of which are given on page 6. 



The remainder of the morning was occupied by papers and discussion on the 

 European Corn-borer in Ontario. 



At the close of the discussion it was moved by Professor Caesar, seconded by 

 Mr. Crawford, that the thanks of the Society be extended to Dr. Howard for 

 sending Messrs. Walton and Worthley to the meeting. Carried. 



THURSDAY AFTERNOON. 



Before proceeding with the reading of papers the following resolution was 

 moved by Professor Lochhead and seconded by Professor Caesar, viz., " That 

 the Society learns with regret that the Rev. Dr. Bethune is retiring from his 

 Professorship in the Ontario Agricultural College on account of advancing years. 

 It is pleased to know, however, that the Government has seen fit to allow him a 

 superannuation allowance on account of long and prominent service as Entomolo- 

 gist and Professor. 



" The Society cannot permit the occasion of Dr. Bethune's retirement from 

 active work to pass without an expression of appreciation of his long and valued 

 services on behalf of Entomology. It remembers that Dr. Bethune was one of 

 the prime movers in. the founding of the Entomological Society of Ontario, fifty- 

 eight years ago. It remembers, also, that he acted for many years as Editor of 

 the " Canadian Entomologist " and during this period the " Canadian Entomolo- 

 gist " became recognized as one of the best entomological magazines on this con- 

 tinent. It remembers also his long service as Professor of Entomology in the 

 Ontario Agricultural College and his wide influence on the many young men who 

 have been his students, many now occupying high positions. 



" The Society desires, therefore, at this time, to place on record its high 

 appreciation, of Dr. Bethune's long and unselfish service to Entomology, especially 

 in connection with the origin and development of tills Society, to extend to him 

 its best wishes for many happy years in his well-earned retirement, and to hope 

 that he will continue to give the Society the benefit of his long experience." 



The motion was spoken to by Messrs. Criddle and Baker. Carried. 



It was then moved by Mr. Criddle, seconded by Mr. Morris, " That a telegram 

 be sent to Dr. Fyles offering the greetings of the Society." Carried. 



It was also moved by Mr. Morris, seconded by Mr. Criddle, " That this 

 meeting express to President Reynolds its appreciation of the courtesy shown by 

 himself and various officers of the Ontario Agricultural College to the Entomolo- 

 gical Society of Ontario during its present session at the College." Carried.
