26 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [Jan., '05 



Mr. Broadwell reported the capture of the following L,epi- 

 doptera : Semioscopsis merriccclla, Hydria undulata, Hydrio- 

 incjia itndtiferata, Phlyct&nia tertialis and Schoe.nobius mellinel- 

 lus at Denville, N. J. 



Mr. Bischoff reported the capture of Ptinus fur L,inn 

 (Col.) in chamomile boxes, but was not certain whether the 

 specimens were feeding on chamomile, as all were found be- 

 tween layers of paper. A vote of thanks was extended to 

 Mr. Broadwell for an enlarged photograph of the membership. 



Mr. Eugene Winship of L,ong Branch was unanimously 

 elected to membership. The advisability of keeping a record 

 book of local species was discussed at length, so that observa- 

 tions and dates in rearing and capturing of the rarer spe- 

 cies might be entered for the benefit of other collectors ; Mr. 

 Buchholz volunteered to take up the Lepidoptera portion of it 

 providing the members would deliver their experiences in 

 writing. Mr. Bischoff agreed to take care of a Coleoptera 

 book on the same lines. 



The November meeting of the Newark Entomological Society 

 was held on the nth, with President Keller in the chair and 

 23 members present. Visitor Mr. J. Kueuzler of Paterson, 

 N. J. 



Prof. Smith promised to send two copies of his " Insects of 

 New Jersey," and on motion it was decided to have the same 

 bound with double interleaves for records of captures, obser- 

 vations, etc. Mr. Hy. Rummel presented a pair of Cicin. 

 nuipunctata (Col.) to the Society. 



He also reported the capture of Paria viridicyanea (Col.) at 

 Plainfield, N. J., in July, on wild morning glory. 



Prof. Smith read an article written by Mr. Brehme in which 

 the latter stated that the vicinity of Newark was by far the 

 best collecting place of any part of the State that he had seen 

 and worked over during the last two years while in the employ 

 of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station. He de- 

 plored, however, that collecting around this section was getting 

 poorer every year, first, on account of the rapid building up of 

 good hunting grounds, and second on account of vandalism exer- 

 cised by some collectors while searching the plants for eggs
