2 18 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST, 



On motion of Mr. Mann it was resolved that a committee of three be 

 appointed to consider the recommendations of the address, and report as 

 early as convenient. 



Messrs. Mann, Fletcher and Smith were appointed as such committee 

 by the President. 



The President suggested a committee on Programme, and on motion 

 of Mr. Mann, amended by Mr. Fletcher, that the Secretary be one of the 

 members, it was so resolved. 



Messrs. Webster and Kellicott were appointed the additional members 

 of the committee. 



On motion, Mr. Smith was elected acting Secretary for the present 

 meeting. 



Mr. Webster moved that one meeting of the Club be set aside for 

 short notes and random observations, and Dr. Kellicott amended by sug- 

 gesting that the next meeting be so set aside. Both motion and amend- 

 ment carried. 



On motion of Mr. Mann^ after some general discussion as to hours 

 of meeting, the Club adjourned to i p. m. 



AFTERNOON MEETING. 



The Club met pursuant to adjournment at i p.m.. President Osborn 

 in the chair, twenty-one members present. 



The President stated that under the resolution adopted, short notes 

 were in order, and he called on the members for such. 



Mr. Kellicott mentioned a Tortricid feeding on Silphiwn perfoliatuvi, 

 . whose habits he studied last year, but of which he got only a single imago 

 in bad condition and not yet named. The eggs are laid in the flower 

 buds, and the larvee eat into and destroy them. At this time the larvje 

 are livid in colour, and there become about half an inch in length ; then 

 they either crawl down outside, or bore through the stem to the root 

 in which they feed until winter. They make a silken tube in which they 

 hibernate and sometimes also pupate ; usually in spring they crawl out 

 into the loose soil and there pupate. 



Mr. Webster spoke of a Cecidomyid larva preying on the cherry aphis, 

 and exhibited specimens. The imago which was bred seems a Diplosis. 

 Hyperchiria io he has usually found rather rarely ; but this year he has 

 received it from corn, where it was feeding in considerable numbers,
