The i4ist regular meeting was held at the residence of Dr. H. 

 G. Dyar, 1512 Twenty-first Street N. W. Vice-President Gill in 

 the chair, and Messrs. Benton, Ash mead, Pollard, Motter,Matthes, 

 Dyar, Vaughan, Sanderson, Chapin,Caudell, Marlatt,and Heide- 

 mann, also present. Prof. J. B. Smith, of New Brunswick, N. J., 

 and Mr. H. Bird, of Rye, N. Y., were also present. 



Dr. E. P. Felt, of Albany, N. Y., was elected a corresponding 

 member. 



Under the heading Exhibition of specimens, Professor Smith 

 showed typical specimens of a new species of Haploa found in 

 New Jersey, for which he proposes the name H, triangular is on 

 account of a peculiarity in the markings. Professor Smith re 

 marked that he had a good series of this form and believed it 

 entitled to a specific rank. Dr. Dyar said that he had been 

 acquainted with the form for some years, but had not regarded it 

 as a species, considering it a southern form of H. confusa 

 Lyman. He also said that the species of Haploa were very local 

 and that isolated colonies tended to be constant, which compli 

 cated the definition of the species in this genus Dr. Gill thought 

 that forms if constant and distinguished from allied forms even 

 oy slight characters were entitled to specific rank. The subject 

 was also discussed by Mr. Bird, and Professor Smith replied. 



Dr. Dyar showed the first volume of the Catalogue of Lepi- 

 doptera Phalasnae, being published by the British Museum, the 

 Syntomidae, by Sir G. F. Hampson, and remarked on the mis 

 leading title, as the volume is really a monograph of the family. 



Dr. Gill gave a history of the publications of the British Mu 

 seum and explained the custom which had arisen there as to the
