Book Description

Excerpt from Annual Report of Entomological Society of Ontario: For the Year 1879; Including Reports on Some of the Noxious, Beneficial, and Other Insects of the Province of Ontario; Prepared for the Honourable the Commissioner of Agriculture on Behalf of the Society The Canadian Entomologist has now completed its eleventh volume. Appearing as it does monthly, with an ever widening circle of influence, it cannot but have great and beneficial effects upon the agricultural interests of the Dominion, rendering by timely warning and advice, such information as has afforded much protection against the noxious insects that are ever invading our crops. It has been well supported by able contributions from our members and is favourably looked upon by its readers. Were our funds sufficient we would gladly introduce a much greater number of appropriate cuts which would make our journal more acceptable and valuable to the community, as, with suitable illustrations, the articles it contains would be much more readily understood. The annual meeting of the Society was held at Ottawa, at the time of the Dominion Exhibition, when the reports of the officers, duly audited, were presented and approved of, also officers for 1880 were elected. The Society's collection of insects was on exhibition there and was awarded the Dominion Gold Medal. The articles contained in the report are, we trust, such as will prove interesting and useful to the public and especially to agriculturists, for whose benefit they are particularly intended. We also trust that they will meet with your approval. Annual Meeting Of The Entomological Society Of Ontario.
