With the December number, the Canadian Entomologist completed its twenty-fifth volume. The Council of the Entomological Society of Ontario have endeavored to make it as useful as possible to the working entomologists of North America. The publications of our Society consist chiefly of the Annual Report published by the Hon. Minister of Agriculture and Arts of Ontario, in his annual report to the Legistaure, and the monthly magazine, the Canadian Entomologist. The former of these is devoted particularly to papers of economic interest, and is distributed not only to our own members, but to every member of the Fruit Growers' Association of Ontario, to members of Parliament, the Mechanics's Institutes, etc., making an issue of about 6,000 copies.

In the proceedings of the Zoological Society of London, Feb. 17th, 1880, is an interesting contribution to the Tineidæ chiefly of this country, by Lord Walsingham, entitled “On Some New and Little Known Species of Tineidæ.” The author states, from a comparison of specimens and figures of Adela schlœeri Zell. (which I had previously recognized as Adela (Dicte) coruscifasciella Cham.), that it is identical with A. Ridingsella Clem., preserved in the collection of the Entomological Society of Philadelphia; a fact which I should not have suspected from Dr. Clemens' description of A. Ridingsella.

The purpose of this article is to describe the scope and depth of the historic corporate annual report collections in twelve academic/research libraries in North America. For many decades, a few major academic business libraries have been collecting and preserving corporate Annual Reports (ARS), the reports sent to shareholders documenting the financial status and future plans of the company. Today these historic collections provide more than a record of the companies’ finances; they provide a glimpse into the social and cultural thoughts from the past and the corporate stories of individual companies. Digitization of these reports has only just begun; so, except for fewer than 900 companies (most of which have been on the Fortune 500 list), the companies included in these historic annual report collections are not available electronically. The combined collection of the twelve libraries includes reports from nearly 38,000 different companies. Stanford, Harvard, and Western Ontario have the largest collections. Harvard and Columbia have collections with significant historic depth, while Purdue has a collection with important late–twentieth-century holdings. The overlap of the collections is much smaller than was anticipated. The two largest collections, Stanford with over 18,000 companies and Harvard with over 11,000 companies, have only 3,668 companies in common. The overlap of companies between the largest five collections is only thirty-three companies. This research identifies these collections as unique and therefore valuable to the study of specific company histories and the industrial development in North America. Librarians need to preserve these collections and work toward digitizing them.

The larvæ of this Noctuid moth were again found at Ottawa the past season, in beds of Irises, on the grounds of the Central Experimental Farm. They were not, however, at all numerous, and did not do any appreciable harm this years. Two larvæ were collected on July 28, one of which was inflated; the other pupated on Aug. 1, the moth emerging on Sept. 7. Another larva was found on Aug. 4, the moth appearing on Sept. 15. The pupa of the former specimen was much larger than any of those obtained in 1903, an account of which appeared in the last Annual Report of the Entomological Society of Ontario. This pupa measured 30 mm. in length and 7.5 in width.

The pine bud moth, Exoteleia dodecella L., is a serious pest of pine throughout much of Europe. In North America, its presence was first reported in 1928 in nurseries at Fonthill and Ridgeville in the Niagara Peninsula (Annual Report, Minister of Agriculture, Ottawa, Canada, 1929). The occurrence and spread of this species was followed closely until 1933 (Sheppard, 1930; Ross and Caesar, 1931; Caesar and Ross, 1932, and Twinn, 1933), in connection with the European pine shoot moth eradication program which was then in progress.
