Your Council would note, that at the request of the Horticultural Association of 

 Montreal, two papers have been prepared by members of this Society for publication in 

 the Annual Report of the Association for 1877. One of these, entitled "The Importance 

 of Entomology to Fruit Growers," is by the President, the other, " On Borers," is by Mr. 

 Caulfield. These, it is intended, will be followed by others in future Reports. Your 

 Council trusts that the intercourse between the Association and the Society will continue, 

 and prove beneficial to both. 



Your Council would mention that one of our members, Mr. Couper, has left Montreal 

 on a trip to the North Shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, for the purpose of studying the 

 preparatory stages of the Northern butterflies, and procuring their eggs and larvae. Your 

 Council feel satisfied that the members will wish him every success in this effort to ad- 

 vance Canadian Entomology. 



The compilation of the Montreal catalogue is still progressing, many species new to 

 this locality having been added during the year. The number on the list is now between 

 800 and 900. 



The whole respectfully submitted.
