 Street, Philadelphia. Fifteen members present, President 

 Haimbach in the chair. 



Mr. Wenzel exhibited three boxes of Cerambycidae (Moni- 

 letna Goes, etc.) from which only four known species were 

 missing. 



Mr. George M. Greene recorded a species of Diptera which 

 is not in the New Jersey list : Syrphus fisheri Walton, from 

 Riverton VII-o,-io, collected by C. T. Greene. He also stated 

 that he had acquired the Godfrey collection of North Ameri- 

 can Coleoptera (approximating ten thousand specimens) by 

 gift. 



Mr. Daecke said that on July iQth, 1912, Mr. H. L. Adams 

 had pulled off a piece of hemlock bark ("about the size of your 

 hand") at West Lenox, Pennsylvania, beneath which he found 

 a specimen of Scaphinotus vidwis Dej., two of Leptura cana- 

 densis Fabr. and two Iphthimus opacus LeC. (Col.). 



Mr. Laurent exhibited specimens of Chrysophanus thoe Bd.- 

 LeC. (Lep.) male and female, that he captured July 29, 1913, 

 on the meadows in Philadelphia Neck, and stated that to the 

 best of his knowledge, this butterfly had never been captured 

 before in the vicinity of Philadelphia. 



Mr. Wenzel said that they have been filling up the low 

 ground, where Mr. Laurent had caught this species, with soil 

 from along the river and other places and that no doubt 

 many seeds had been transplanted in this manner, and he knew 

 of many plants growing there now which were unknown a few 

 years ago. He reported Lema trilineata Oliv. (Col.) as com- 

 mon in that locality both this year and last on the "jimson 

 weed." 



Mr. Hoyer exhibited a box of Coleoptera collected by boys 

 on a camping trip on Valcour Island, New York, this year. 

 Stated that this island is about a mile from shore in Lake 

 Champlain, opposite the town of Valcour, Clinton County. 

 This contained many interesting and rare species.
