Mr. Laurent said Tenodcra sincnsis seems to be holding its 

 own at Mt. Airy, Philadelphia. He had gathered about half 

 a barrel of egg masses. The species likes blackberry and briar 

 bushes as a place of abode and avoids low ground with low 

 herbage. Dr. Calvert stated that he had distributed some egg 

 masses at the Botanical Garden of the University of Pennsyl- 

 vania, but had seen no result. The difference in the character 

 of the vegetation in the Botanical Garden would probably ac- 

 count for their absence. The Curator reported that the Society 

 and the Entomological Section of the Academy had received 

 103,988 insects during 1901.
