 James H. B. Bland, acknowledging the notice of his election to 

 honorary membership. 



A communication was read from Fred. Marloff, dated Oak 

 Station, Pa., Feb. 5, 1897, in which he states, referring to the 

 note relative to Murgantia histrionica as published in minutes 

 appearing in February NEWS, he thought it might possibly be 

 of interest to know that the same insect proved very injurious in 

 the season just past in the above mentioned locality, being espe- 

 cially abundant on cauliflower. He states that he had never 

 taken .it there before. Prof. Smith stated that the same insect 

 had been reported from several localities in New Jersey, having 

 proven quite injurious in some places.
