Aeshna interrupta interrupta, Cordnlia shurtlcffi, Lcucorhinia intacta, 

 Sympetrum rubicundulum) ; only one specimen of the Aeshna was 

 captured, although one or two more may have been seen. The exu- 

 viae collected were of N. irene, Ae. interrupta interrupta, L. intacta? 

 and- of two, or possibly three, additional species of Aeshna: umbrosa. 

 canadensis and something near interrupta. He called attention to the 

 interesting position of Mt. Greylock at the southern end of an arm of 

 the Canadian zone, as shown on the map accompanying Prof. A. P. 

 Morse's article on the distribution of New England Locusts (Psyche, 

 viii, 315, February, 1899). 



Orthoptera. Mr. Rehn spoke about the collecting trip which he 

 and Mr. Hebard made in Central Florida this summer, and stated 

 that several new forms of the interesting genus Bcllaccphala were 

 found, of which over 350 specimens were collected. Stopping off at 

 Rabun Bald, Georgia, on their way home, some interesting catches in 

 the genus Conocephalus were made. 



Lepidoptera.- Dr. Skinner exhibited two specimens, supposed to be 

 Papilio machaonidcs, collected in Hayti and Tortugas Island, which 

 showed several marked differences that may prove to be of systematic 

 value; he also spoke about the collection made by Dr. Win. L. Abbott 

 in these localities this summer. Mr. Williams made some interesting 

 remarks on the genus Hespcria, especially regarding characters pos- 

 sessed by the genitalia and illustrated them by drawings. He stated 

 that, based on the genitalic characters, occidcntalis seems to be dis- 

 tinct from tcsscllata. 'Mr. Rehn cautioned about the use of the second- 

 ary sexual characters in generic separation, making special reference 

 to the costal fold in certain Hesperidae, and illustrated his remarks by 

 reference to some secondary characters that proved not to lie even of 

 specific value in Orthoptera. E. T. CRESSON, JR., Recorder. 



Entomological Society of Nova Scotia. A Correction. 



EDITOR, Entomological News : Last year, with a view of increasing 

 the membership of the Entomological Society of Nova Scotia, I sent 

 copies of the Annual Report to our local members and others, whom 

 I thought might be interested, enclosing a circular letter setting forth 

 the aims and scope of the society. Through a mistake in the mailing 

 department a number of these letters were enclosed with copies 

 going outside the province. This has led to some misunderstanding 

 and the impression has gone abroad that we are soliciting for member- 

 ship outside the province, which is not the case. 



More unfortunately still, a copy of this letter, intended only for 

 residents of Nova Scotia, was published in full in the November, 1917, 

 issue of ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS.
