Since the majority of the Entomologists present at this meeting belong to a younger generation, who have never attened any ot the meetings of the old Entomological Club of the A. A. A. S, a short history of the Club may not be out of place on this occasion. These notes I have prepared from a hasty persual of the most readily available entomological literature, and more especially from the volumes of the Canadian Entomologist, to which periodical the Club is deeply indebted for the faithful preservation of its records through a long number of years.
