Insects of Rockwood Park and Vicinity. 
By Wm. McIntosh. 
(Abstract of Address given March 7, 1911.) 
The lecturer threw on the screen many beautiful pictures 
of the scenery in the park, and a map showing the various 
lakes and ponds by which its scenery is diversified; he also 
had pictures of common and the rarer insect life met with 
in the park. He showed how large the subject was when he 
stated that he himself had taken hundreds of different species 
of butterflies and moths and five hundred species of beetles 
in the district. Mr. McIntosh dealt chiefly with the insects 
that were important as food for fishes. 
Birds of Rockwood Park. 
By a. Gordon Leavitt. 
(Abstract of Address given May 2, 1911.) 
Mr. Leavitt handled his subject well and gave a great deal 
of information about the birds of the park that was useful and 
interesting; he also made a strong plea for adequate protec- 
tion to our feathered friends, whose usefulness to the farmer 
and the gardener were not fully appreciated. 
The lecturer then turned himself to an exhibition with 
the Reflectoscope of the most striking and best known of our 
native birds, showing pictures of the Blue Bird, American 
Robin, various thrushes and Kinglets, Chickadees, Wrens, 
Swallows, Butcher Bird, and many other kinds that make 
the Park melodious in their season.
