346 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [Juty. '08 



The April meeting of the Heink Entomological Club of St. 

 Louis, Mo., took place at the residence of Mr. Paul Schroers 

 on the 24th of the month, Mr. Heink in the chair. 



Mr. Schroers exhibited a large number of parts of Dr. 

 Seitz's great work "The Butterflies of the World," which were 

 inspected with more than usual interest. This work should 

 enjoy an ever-increasing sale among all lovers of Lepidoptera. 

 The color plates are executed with artistic excellence and 

 true to life, while the descriptive matter is highly entertaining 

 and instructive. Mr. Schroers has generously decided to con- 

 tribute a copy of this work to the Club's library. Mr. Poepping 

 exhibited several well prepared life histories of Pyramcis and 

 Grapta. Mr. Kelbly reported that he had last season found 

 larvae of T. Polyphemus on a wild plum tree. 



The May meeting of the Heink Entomological Club of St. 

 Louis, Mo., occurred at the residence of Mr. Geo. Graf on the 

 21 st, Mr. Heink presiding. 



Mr. Heink introduced the subject of a field day. It was 

 decided to hold the same on May 3ist, at Creve Coeur Lake, 

 Mo., 23 miles from St. Louis. This is a resort of great nat- 

 ural beauty, comprising a lake, bordered on one side by very 

 high wooded bluffs, while on the opposite shore woodland and 

 meadow contrive to offer the naturalist a variety of opportuni- 

 ties. 



Colleague Mr. Geo. Akerlind of Chicago described this lo- 

 cality at some length in the March, 1907, number of the ENTO- 

 MOLOGICAL NEWS. 



Mr. Knetzger exhibited a pair of Pamphila dclaivare, taken 

 last July at Falling Springs, 111., five miles east of St. Louis. 

 P. delaware should be added to the "List of Butterflies of St. 

 Louis and vicinity" in which it was not mentioned. A dis- 

 cussion followed concerning the reason why P. delaware, found 

 abundantly at Falling Springs, has never yet, to our knowl- 

 edge, been seen on the west side of the Mississippi, notwith- 

 standing the fact, that topography and flora here are in many 

 places identical with those of Falling Springs, notably so at 

 Creve Coeur Lake, Meramec Highlands and the cliffs south 

 of the city.
