ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [Dec., 'O2 



collecting in the vicinity of Mt. Shasta, and his promptness in 

 response to aid his fellow Entomologists in their endeavors to 

 advance our knowledge of the Pacific Coast fauna ; also the 

 work done by Mr. James Cottle in Siskiyou County ; and the 

 work done in collecting Coleoptera and Hymenoptera about 

 Napa by Mr, F. C. Clark. 



The visit of Dr. Walther Horn, of Berlin, and his researches 

 in the Cicindelidae, and the aid received from him in arranging 

 our collections in that family, were referred to and fully 

 appreciated and acknowledged ; the visit of Prof. Kincaid, of 

 the University of Washington, State of Washington, was spoken 

 of, and that he desired to become a co-worker in the Club, 

 called up the advisability of extending the limits of the Club 

 so as to include all of the Pacific Coast. President Fuchs con- 

 cluded by calling upon the members for their opinion of ex- 

 tending the Club limits. 



After discussion it was voted to change the name of the Club 

 to the Pacific Coast Entomological Society, and that members 

 be enrolled from any part of the Coast. 



Mr. L,etcher then spoke upon the advisability of devising a 

 plan for selling insects, the proceeds of which to be applied to 

 the purchase of Entomological publications for the Society. 

 It was suggested that the exchange might be made direct, of the 

 insects for the publications. A committee was appointed to 

 report at the next meeting. 



It was then decided to purchase a mimeograph for printing 

 copies of the proceedings of the Society, so that distant mem- 

 bers could be kept in touch with the Society. 



Mr. Nunenmacher spoke of a collecting trip that he antici- 

 pated and his willingness to collect in the different orders for 

 members of the Society, his special interest being centered in 

 the Coccinellidae. 



Mr. Cottle exhibited a beautiful series of Pscudohazis eglan- 

 terina taken near Upper Soda Springs, Siskiyou County. The 

 series included forms ranging from denudata to shastcnsis ; also 

 specimens of Sphinx sequoia collected in the same locality. 



Social discourse. Adjournment.
