REPORT OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF ONTARIO TO THE 

 ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA. 



As delegate from the Entomological Society of Ontario, I have much pleasure in 

 announcing that the Society which I have the honour to represent, continues its labours 

 with undiminished energy and success. Its membership is large, and it is everywhere 

 recognized as one of the most important scientific institutions of the country. 



Its monthly publication, the Entomologist, continues to receive the support of, and to. 

 be welcomed by Entomologists of all places, and Vol. XVII. for 1885 is a most valuable 

 addition to the recorded knowledge of American insects. The contributors to this volume, 

 forty in number, include the leading Canadian workers, and many of the best known 

 entomologists of the United States. A complete set of the Entomologist and of the 

 Annual Reports will be found to contain a vast store of information in regard to the 

 structure, classification, distribution and habits of our insect foes and friends.
