TWENTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT 



OF THE 



ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF ONTARIO- 



To the Honourable the Minister of A griculture : 



Sir, — In accordance with the provisions of our Act of incorporation, I beg 

 to present herewith the twenty-first annual report of the Entomological Society 

 of Ontario. 



The report contains an account of the proceedings of our annual meeting for 

 the election of officers and the transaction of the general business of the society, 

 which was held in the city of London on the 27th of August, 1890; it includes 

 also the audited financial statement of the Secretary-Treasurer, the reports of the 

 Council and Montreal branch, the President's annual address, etc. 



I have also the honour to submit with the foregoing, several illustrated 

 papers contributed by our members on injurious and other insects, which have 

 been specially prepared for the information of the public, and are intended to 

 assist our farmers and fruit-growers in contending with their insect enemies. 



The Society's monthly magazine. The Canadian Entomologist, has been 

 regularly and promptly issued during the past year, and has just completed its 

 twenty-second volume. It continues to receive contributions from all the most 

 eminent Entomologists in North America, and to circulate in all parts of the 

 world. During the past year it has been found necessary to issue more than 

 twenty extra pages in order to find space for the many valuable articles which 

 have been furnished the editor. 



It is a matter of profound thankfulness that our province, during the past 

 year, has escaped from any serious insect attack. Those that have been specially 

 noticeable are referred in the President's address, or described in the papers that 

 follow. 



I have the honour to be, Sir, 



Your obedient servant, 



W. E. SAUNDERS, 



Secretary.
