In pursuance of one of the chief objects for which this Society was established some 

 fifteen years ago, illustrated reports of various noxious and beneficial insects have been 

 prepared by members of the Society for publication (with your approval), for the benefit 

 of those interested in Agriculture and its kindred pursuits. 



The publication of the Canadian Entomologist is still maintained, the Society having

I have the honour, Sir, to remain, 



Your obedient servant,
