Tou will all, I have no doubt, be gratified to learn that, upon the suggestion of the aub- 

 section of Entomology, the American Associa,tion unanimously passed a resolution inviting 

 our Entomological Society of Ontario, as well as the x\merican Entomological Society, to hold 

 a general meeting of our members at Hartford next year during their annual session. I trust 

 that this invitation will be cordially accepted and that a large number of us may there meet 

 our American friends and enlarge and strengthen these cordial feelings of scientific brother- 

 hood which have so long pleasantly existed between us. I may add, as a notable token of the 

 estimation in which our branch of science is now held, that the Association will meet next 

 year under the presidency of our ablest American Entomologist — Dr. J. L. Leconte, of 

 Philadelphia. 



You have already heard from our Secretary-Treasurer's Report the satisfactory condi- 

 tion of our finances and other business matters ; I need not therefore trespass further upon 

 your patience and attention. Heartily thanking you, gentlemen, for your kindness towards 

 myself and my colleagues during our term of office, and for the honour which you have con- 

 ferred upon me by calling me to preside over you. 



I have the honour to remain, with best wishes for the advancement and prosperity of 

 the Society, 



Your humble and obedient servant, 

 Charles J. S. Bethune, 



President Entomological Society of Ontario.
