On Wednesday morning a meeting of the Council was held, at which the 

 report of the proceedings of the Society for the year was read by the Secretary 

 and approved and several important matters concerning the welfare of the Society 

 discussed. A committee, consisting of the President and secretary of the Society 

 and Dr. E. M. Walker was appointed to deal with the matter of adjusting the 

 finances of the Society. It was also decided that the following policy with re- 

 spect to the journal of the Society be followed in future as closely as possible, 

 viz : — that no papers be published unless the author be a subscriber or member 

 of the Society and that the author bear the full cost of all .cuts. It was suggested 

 that in view of the fact that the Annual Meeting of the American Association for 

 the Advancement of Science is to be held in Toronto in 1921, that the Annual 

 Meeting of the Entomological Society of Ontario be held in the same city at such 

 a time that visiting entomologists could attend our sessions. 



WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON 



The regular meeting was called to order by the President, Mr. Arthur Gibson. 

 The various reports of the Society, except that of the treasurer, were taken 

 as read. The financial statement was then read by the Secretary-Treasurer.
