1921 ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY 



Ten numbers of the 52nd volume have so far been issued and the volume will 

 be completed by the publication of the November and December numbers. 



It is again the sad duty of the Council to record the loss of one of our most 

 eminent members, and it is difficult to express in suitable terms the profound 

 regret that all Entomologists feel at the death of Dr. 'C. Gordon. Hewitt, Dominion 

 Entomologist and a former President of the Society. He died at Ottawa on Feb- 

 ruary the 29th, 1920, of pneumonia, following a brief but very severe attack of 

 influenza . By his death Canada has lost one of her ablest men of science and 

 the Department of Agriculture a most valuable and efficient' servant, through 

 whose wide knowledge of economic zoology, great administrative ability and 

 far-seeing judgment, the Dominion Entomological service has developed to a re- 

 markable extent since his appointment as Dominion Entomologist in 1909. A 

 full acount of his life and work, together with an excellent portrait, was published 

 in the Canadian Entomologist for May. 



REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN. 



No books have been purchased for the Library during the year ending October 

 31st, 1920>, owing to the lack of funds for the purpose. Thirty-six bound volumes, 

 nearly all of them the gift of the Librarian-, have been added to the Society's collec- 

 tion making the total number 2,328. There is a large accumulation of periodicals, 

 bulletins and other publications, many of which should be bound in order to be 

 available for reference, but at present there is no prospect of any means being 

 available, nor has it been possible to have them classified and catalogued. 



Eespectfully submitted, 

 Charles J. S. Bethtjxe, Librarian.
