Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty-Ninth Annual Report of the Entomological Society of Ontario, 1898 The Council has much pleasure in stating that entomological books can now be imported into Canada free of all Customs duty, and that this concession was Obtained through the representations of our Society. Early in the year, the President called the attention of the Council to the fact, that under item N O. 464 of the tariff, books upon the application of science to industries of all kinds could be imported free of duty, and suggested that an effort should be made to secure the placing in the same category books upon entomology, on account of the close connection between that science and the suc cessful prosecution of agriculture. This was unanimously approved by the Council and a Committee consisting of the President and Drs. Bethune and Fletcher, was appointed to prepare a memorial to the Government. The memorial having been approved, was signed by the President and Secretary, and was duly forwarded to the Finance Minister on the eve of the introduction of the budget, but owing to the pressure Of other business was held over until the prorogation of Parliament.

Mr. Patterson, at once decided that such books should be admitted free under the item above referred to. The Society was represented at the meetings in Boston, in August last, of the Association of Economic Entomologists of North America, and the American tion for the Advancement of Science, by its President, Mr. Lyman and the Rev.
