NINETEENTH ANNUAL REPORT 



OF THE 



ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY 



OP 



ONTARIO. 



To the Honourable the Minister of Agriculture : 



Sir, — I have the honour to submit for your approval the annual report of the 

 Entomological Society of Ontario for 1888. 



Included in the report is the financial statement of the Society, and the transactions 

 of the annual meeting held in Ottawa, at which the Society had the pleasure of your 

 presence, thereby evincing an interest in matters Entomological which was much appre- 

 ciated by the members of the Society, and which will, it is hoped, be a means of encour- 

 aging the work of Entomologists in our Province. 



Our monthly journal, the Canadian Entomologist, has been regularly issued during 

 the year, and some measure of the value in which it is held by students of agriculture 

 may be obtained by the fact that many of the Agricultural Experiment Stations in the 

 United States have purchased from the Society complete sets of the magazine for refer- 

 ence in the course of their work. 



During the year the Society's collection of insects was returned from the Colonial 

 Exhibition in London, England, and work is now in progress fitting it up as a perma- 

 nent and representative collection for reference on the Entomology of Ontario. 



I have the honour t© be, Sir, 



Your obedient servant, 



W. E. SAUNDERS, 



Secretary -Treasurer.
