REPORT OF THE MARITIME BRANCH 



The ninth annual meeting of the Acadian Entomological Society was held 

 in Amherst, N.S., on December 12th, 1923. The regular business session was 

 held and the following officers were elected for 1924: 



Honorary President Dr. A. H. MacKay, Halifax. 



President Dr. J. D. Tothill, Fredericton. 



Vice-President Mr. J. P. Spittall, Annapolis Royal t 



Secretary-Treasurer Mr. W. E. Whitehead, Truro. 



The remainder of the day was devoted to an informal discussion of entomo- 

 logical problems. 



During the past year "Proceedings" No. 8 had been published, which con- 

 tains 182 pages and 25 plates, the increase in size of this number being made 

 possible by a surplus of funds which the society had on hand. Our membership 

 is about the same as that of last year.
