Mr. Relin said he had been commissioned by the State of 

 Pennsylvania to examine the wharves, river fronts and incom- 

 ing vessels at the quarantine station for Stegomyia fasdata but 

 had not found any. He also reported that in company with 

 Mr. Morgan Hebard he had spent eleven days in North Central 

 Florida and took four thousand Orthoptera. They found 

 Stegomyia fasdata common at Cedar Keys, and Anopheles and 

 Culc.v on the steamer between Jacksonville and New York. 



Mr. H. W. Wenzel exhibited beautiful specimens of the 

 workings in wood of the following species of Scolytidse : 

 Hylesinus opaculus, fasciatns, Chramcsus icoritz, Corthylus 

 punctatissimus , Pityophthorus consimilis. 



Dr. Calvert exhibited specimens of Amphiagrion (Hcspcra- 

 grion} heterodox nm Selys, from Mexico and Arizona, and plate 

 VI of the Neuroptera volume, Biologia Centrali-Americana, 

 to show the great range of color variation in this species. 

 Data were given to show the basis for his opinion that these 

 color differences are chiefly due to age, and in this respect he 

 considered this species to be, perhaps, the most remarkable 

 Odonate known to him. 



Mr. Ilg exhibited the life histories of a number of moths and 

 butterflies in Riker mounts. 



Mr. Daecke said the older Jersey list contained sixteen 

 species of Chrysops, and the later Johnson list added one 

 species. During the past summer he had brought the record 

 up to twenty-five species which includes two described by him- 

 self and one to be described by Prof. Hine. He was also 

 studying the coloration of the eyes in this genus. 



Mr. Laurent exhibited a specimen of Papilio glaucus which 

 showed a large admixture of yellow. He also made some 

 remarks on Tenodera sinensis and distributed specimens among 

 the members. Brown marks on the tegmina were attributed 

 to drops of water acting as a burning glass. 



Mr. Wenzel said, about three years ago egg masses of this 

 species had been placed at Anglesea, N. J., and recently a liv- 

 ing imago had been sent to him from that place. 



Mr. Rehn also reported the species from Atlantic City, N. J.
