The Canadian Entomologist, the official organ of the society completed its 

 fifty-second volume in December last. The volume contained 290 pages, illustrated 

 by eleven full page plates and twenty-five original figures. The contributors to these 

 pages numbered fifty-eight, and included writers in Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, 

 Alberta and British Columbia, and also in sixteen of the United States, in south 

 America, Hawaiian Islands and Japan. Ten papers were published during the 

 year on popular and practical entomology. 



It is the sad duty of the council to record the loss of two of our best- 

 known members. The Rev. Dr. Fyles was one of the oldest members of the 

 society. He has long been a contributor to the pages of the Canadian Entomologist 

 and to the annual report of the society. His presence at our annual meetings was 

 looked forward to by all members. For thirt} T -four years he did not fail to furnish 

 a paper for these meetings. He died at Ottawa on Tuesday, August 9th, in his 

 ninetieth year. A full account of his life and works was published in the Novem- 

 ber number of the Canadian Entomologist. 



Mr. F. W. L. Sladen, Dominion Apiarist, met accidental death by drowning off 

 Duck Island in Lake Ontario on September 10th. Mr. Sladen joined the society ir* 

 1912, and has been an active worker in the various groups of the aculeate hymen- 

 optera since that time. An obituary appeared in the October number of the 

 Canadian Entomologist.
