 record for the State. The difficulty of capturing Poaphila 

 quadrifllaris was mentioned. The other records in the New 

 Jersey list for this moth are all Newark. Euhcrrichia gramtosa 

 Guen., one specimen from the same locality captured a year 

 ago was the first record for the State. Orthofidonia 

 vestaliata Gn. Two records, one from northern Jersey and one 

 from Ocean County. Crambus dacckcllus Haimbach, recently 

 described. Chrysops Indus, a new locality for this insect.

Dr. Calvert spoke of the genus Somatochlora and the species 

 tcncbrosa and filosa as having been recorded from North Caro- 

 lina by Brimley. Mr. Brimley had sent him specimens and al- 

 so a cast skin of tcncbrosa. Mr. Brimley's determinations of 

 the species were found in accord with his own. 



Mr. Daecke said Tabanus inc.ricanns flew around cattle to- 

 ward night. He said the fact that Diachlora fcrmgatns and 

 Dorcas brcvis had been found at Wey mouth, New Jersey,
