Meeting of February 26, 1920, in the same hall. Seven persons 

 present. The President, Dr. Skinner, in the chair. 



ORTHOPTERA. Mr. J. A. G. Rehn exhibited a copy of J. Gundlach's 

 Contribution a la Entomologia Cubana, Parte IV, treating of the 

 Orthoptera, which he had recently received and is turning over to 

 the Society's library in which it has been lacking. This is a very rare 

 publication. He called attention to Dr. Calvert's paper on Gundlach's 

 publications in the Society's Transactions, vol. xlv, no. 4. He also 

 made a few remarks upon sexual dimorphism in the Dermaptera, illus- 

 trating them chiefly by African forms which he had been studying 

 recently, and spoke concerning the macrolabic and cyclolabic develop- 

 ment of the forceps in the males of certain genera. 



HEMIPTERA. Mr. W. T. Davis exhibited and presented to The 

 Academy of Natural Sciences specimens of Okanaana magnified Davis 

 from the Jemez Mountains of New Mexico (Woodgate), from Arizona 

 and Colorado. 



LEPIDOPTERA. Dr. Skinner exhibited boxes of Pyrrhopyginae and 

 Hesperiinae showing curious mimicry. 



GENERAL. He also exhibited a piece of lead sheathing from a tele- 

 phone cable in Texas which was curiously punctured by an insect which 

 bores through the lead. The identity of the species is unknown, but 

 it has done damage to the lines in that region.
