It is with much gratification that we announce the formation of the British Columbia Branch of our Society, which has been accomplished by the affiliation with it of the British Columbia Entomological Society. The Rev. G. W. Taylor, of Wellington, is the President, and Mr. R. V. Harvey, the Queen's School, Vancouver, Secretary-Treasurer. Regularly quarterly meetings are held and eighteen members have thus far been enrolled. With such a goodly band of enthusiastic and experienced entomologists the new Branch ought to grow and prosper and do much efficent work for the furtherance of this department of science in the western Province of the Dominion of Canada.
