JUNE 2, 1898. 



Vice-President Gill in the chair, and Messrs. Patten, Ash- 

 mead, Pollard, Marlatt, Benton, Sherman, Currie, Sanderson, 

 Motter, Pratt, Johnson, Howard, and Heidemann also present. 



Under the head of " Short Notes and Exhibition of Speci 

 mens," Mr. Pratt exhibited specimens of Borus unicolor, taken 

 under bark of Pinus inops at Rosslyn, Va. The species had 

 been found near Washington many years ago. but Mr. Schwarz 

 had considered it to be practically extinct. He also showed speci 

 mens of Orchestes ephippiatus, taken on willow near Tennally- 

 town, D. C. Apropos to extinct species, Dr. Gill spoke of the 

 supposed extinction of Lophelatelus chameleontic.eps, formerly 

 very abundant, and which for years was never seen, even in a 

 single specimen. Within the last three years, however, it has 

 become abundant once more in the old region. Mr. Ashmead 

 instanced Cynips notha O. S., a species which for 35 years had 

 not been taken. The present spring it was re-discovered by Dr. 

 Dyar and shown to belong to the genus Netiroterus.
