To the Honorable the Minister of Agriculture : Srr,—I have the honor to present herewith the twenty-second annual report of the Entomological Society of Ontario, in accordance with the provisions of our Act of Incorporation. The annual meeting of the Society was held in London, on the 25th and 26th of November, 1891; the lateness of the meeting being caused by the severe illness of our President, who was on that account unable to attend earlier. At this meeting many papers of interest were read, the reports of officers received, officers for the ensuing year elected, and general business connected with the conduct of the Society transacted. The first reports were also received from the sections engaged on other branches of science, by whose work the Society hopes to be much benefited. The various reports of the officers and sections, together with the audited annual statement of the Treasurer, the annual address of the President, the papers read at the annual meeting and the report of our delegate to the Royal Society of Canada, will be found in the following pages. There is also presented a full report of the very important meeting of the Association of Economic Entomologists held in Washington in August last, under the presidency of our Vice- President, Mr. James Fletcher. This Society was first organised in Toronto in 1889, and now includes amongst its members all the leading scientists in North America who are engaged in the study of practical entomology ; its proceedings are therefore of the highest interest and value to all concerned in any department of agriculture or horticulture. The Canadian Entomologist coi tinues to be issued regularly and is now the oldest Entomological publication in America. It numbers amongst its contributors the ablest students of the science in the United States as well as in Canada, and also some celebrated Entomologists in Europe. I have the honor to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, W. E. SAUNDERS, Secretary. 1 (EN.)

REPORT OF THE MONTREAL BRANCH. The following, the eighteenth annual report of the Montreal Branch of the Society, was read.and adopted :— The Council in submitting their report for the year 1890-91 are pleased to be able to state that the year has been one of decided progress. Ten monthly meetings, most of which were well attended, have been held during the year; the June meeting, held at the residence of Mr Trenholme, Cote St Antoine being principally devoted to collecting moths. The presence of Mr James Fletcher, Vice President of the parent society at the Febuary meeting, and of the Rev. Mr Fyles of Quebec, on several other occasions gave an increased interest to those meetings, and the Branch is indebted to these gentlemen for the interest they have taken in its success. During the year, one old member Mr E. D. Wintle has rejoined, and one new one Mr H B, Cushing ' has been added to our roll. The following papers have been read during the year : 1. Notes on Argynnis freya, A. Chariclea and A. Myrina. H. H. Lyman. 2. Notes on Coleoptera (several papers.) J. F. Hausen. 3. A Day inthe Woods, Rev. T W. Fyles. 4, Notes on the Lepidoptera of 1890. A. F. Winn. 5. Description of a New Species of Pterostichus (P. Hornii.) J. F. Hausen. 6. Quebec representatives of the genus Plusia. Rev. T. W. Fyles. 7. Diseases of the Chrysanthemum caused by Insects, J. G. Jack, (selected.) F. B. Caulfield. 8. Tortoise Beetles. F. B. Caulfield. 9. On the occurrence of Gracilia minuta at Montreal. J. F. Hausen. 10. A preliminary paper on the genus Chionobas. H.H. Lyman. 11. Notes on Gryllidae, Field Crickets. F. B. Caulfield. 12. Notice of three new Species of Pterostichus. J. F Hausen. 13. Notes on some methods of collecting insects. H. F Winn. 14. Report on a collection of Lepidoptera from the north of Lake Huron, H. H. Lyman. 15. Can Insects survive freezing? H. H. Lyman. Of the above, Nos. 1 and 9 have been published in the Canadian Entomologist ; 3,6 and 8 in the Annual Report for 1890 ; and 5 and 12 in the Canadian Record of Science. The report of the Treasurer shows that the Branch is flourishing financially. The Council would again urge upon the members increased activity in the collection and study of the insects of all orders in this locality, and especially of the more neglected ones, in order that we may obtain a better knowledge of those occurring here. Only about 1,400 species are as yet recorded, and this number could be very materially increased by even one summer’s careful work. Your Council would suggest that occasional collecting excursions be held during the coming summer, as a means of stimulating the interest of the members in this science. Respectfully submitted on behalf of the Council. H. H. LYMAN, President. The following officers were elected for the coming year:—President, H. H. Lyman; Vice President. F. B. Caulfield ; Secretary-Treasurer, A. F. Winn ; Members of Council, J. F. Hausen and W. C. Adams. (Signed) A, F, WINN, Secretary. REPORT OF THE TREASURER. The Treasurer Mr. J. M. Denton, presented his annual statement of the finances of the Society and explained the various items to the meeting. On motion it was adopted as follows:— Recerets, 1890-91.
