1922 ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 9 



It would not be fitting to close this report without a reference to the fact that 

 Dr. C. J. S. Bethune has given up active work in Entomology at the Ontario 

 Agricultural College and is now living in well earned retirement in Toronto. 



The council also wishes to express its regret that the illness of Prof. Loch- 

 head has prevente'd him from being present at this meeting. It is hoped that soon 

 he again will be able to take up his duties in Entomology.
