The Canadian Entomologist, the official organ of the Society completed 

 its fifty-first volume in December last. The size of the magazine was enlarged in 

 order to be uniform with the standard size of bulletins, and the number of pages 

 in each issue was reduced but without making any diminution in the amount of 

 reading matter published. The volume contained 287 pages, illustrated by 20' full 

 page plates and 3'6 figures from original drawings. The contributors to its pages 

 number 65, and include writers in Ontario, Quebec, 'Manitoba, Alberta and British 

 Columbia, and also in twenty-one of the United States. Ten papers were pub- 

 lished on "Popular and Practical Entomology," which continued to form an 

 attractive and instructive feature for the benefit of the general reader.
