Excerpt from Report of the Entomological Society of Ontario, 1873: Including a Report on Some of the Noxious, Beneficial and Common Insects of the Province of Ontario; Prepared for the Honourable the Commissioner of Agriculture on Behalf of the Society The canadian entomologist is drawing to the close of its fifth annual volume and its general reputation and position as a scientific journal are well sustained owing, however, to its necessarily limited circulation, the Society obviously can derive but little pecuniary addition to their funds from its publication. In preparing the Annual Report the Directors strongly feel the necessity of obtaining a larger supply of woodcuts and electrotypes in order the better to illustrate its pages, and thus the more clearly and faithfully to lay before their readers a correct knowledge of the various insects treated of. I have the honour to remain, Sir, Your obedient servant, joseph williams. Secretary-treasurer Entomological Society of Ontario London, Ont Nov., 1873.
