ANNUAL MEETING OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL CLUB OF 



THE A. A. A. S. FOR 1892. 



The Annual Meeting of the Entomological Club of the A. A. A. S. 

 will be held during the meeting of the A. A. A. S. at Rochester, New- 

 York, August 17th to 20th, 1892, at such times as will least conflict with 

 other features of interest to members. The meeting of the Association 

 of Economic Entomologists, which will be held at the same time and 

 place, will add to the attractions for all interested in the science, and it is 

 hoped that members will make it a point to be present and assist in making 

 the Rochester meeting a successful reunion of all the working entomolo- 

 gists of America. It is urged, also, that every member prepare a paper 

 or papers for presentation before the Club, furnishing the Secretary with 

 the titles in advance, so that a preliminary programme may be drawn up. 

 As most of the members of the Club are also members of the Association 

 of Economic Entomologists, it is suggested that subjects relating to 

 applied entomology be presented before the latter society, reserving for 

 the Club matters of a more purely scientific interest. Systematic, 

 biologic or anatomical studies, together with collecting notes, are especi- 

 ally desired and appropriate.

OBITUARY. 



DR. CARL AUGUST DOHRN. 



Entomologists generally will regret to hear of the death of Dr. C. A. 

 Dohrn, which happened on the fourth of May, in his eighty-sixth year, 

 at his home in Stettin, Germany. Dr. Dohrn was born in 1806, and his 

 youth was passed amid the stirring political events with which this 

 century opened on the continent. He visited the University of Berlin 

 in his sixteenth year with the intention of studying the law, but soon 

 devoted himself to literature and music. His translations of dramas 

 from the Spanish attracted attention, and, as a man of letters and 

 musician, he enjoyed the protection of the late King of Prussia, Frederick 

 William IV. Dr. Dohrn was thrown into the society of many eminent 

 persons, and became the friend of Mendelssohn and Alexander von
