torio di Zoologia generale e agraria della R. Scuola superiore 

 d'Agricoltura in Portici, vol. iv. The insect is remarkable 

 by reason of the long curling wax threads secreted by the pupa, 

 of which there are only two pairs. The species falls in a 

 new genus, as set forth in a forthcoming paper on the classifi- 

 cation of the Aleyrodidae by Messrs. Quaintance and Baker. 



MEETING OF MAY 2, 1912. 



The 259th regular meeting of the Society was entertained 

 by the bachelors in the Saengerbund Hall, 314 C Street NW. 

 on the evening of May 2, 1912, and there were present Messrs. 

 Barber, Caudell, Ely, Heidemann, Knab, McAtee, Quaintance, 

 Rohwer, Russell, Sasscer, Schwarz, Vickery, Viereck, and 

 Walton, members, and Messrs. J. R. Malloch, William Mid- 

 dleton, J. R. Strauss, and R. Wooldridge, visitors. President 

 Quaintance occupied the chair. 



Mr. Rohwer read a letter from Mrs. J. B. Smith, expressing 

 her deep appreciation for the action of the Society in calling 

 a special meeting on March 14, 1912, for the purpose of draw- 

 ing up resolutions in recognition of the work of the late Dr. 

 John B. Smith. 



Mr. Schwarz brought up the question of a meeting in June 

 and on a vote of the Society it was decided that such a meet- 

 ing should take place. 



Mr. Rohwer suggested that the Society take some action 

 in electing a representative at the meeting at Oxford this 

 summer, and after some discussion the matter was laid on the 

 table until the next meeting. 



At this juncture the question arose as to whether the Society 

 should publish a biography of the late Dr. John B. Smith, 

 and it was moved and seconded that Dr. Howard and Mr. 

 Schwarz should draw up such a biography to be published by 

 the Society. 



The first paper of the evening was by H. L. Viereck, on 

 "Entomology at the Centenary of the Academy of Natural 

 Sciences of Philadelphia."
