Cotton Wonn which is an occasional visitor far to the North of its 

 usual range. The past year this insect occurred in extremely- 

 large numbers in the State as far north as Lake Erie. It is unable 

 to winter even in the northern part of the cotton belt and is believed 

 to fly northward in fall. The adults have been reported as 

 puncturing the fruit of the peach. 



Prof. Griggs reported finding Lycopodium davatum near Rock- 

 bridge in Hocking Co. This plant has been reported only once 

 before for Ohio, and the present report extends its known range 

 about 100 miles. 



Mr. Bentley Fulton spoke of a large colony of the Cicada-killer 

 which he observed in the Hocking county region. Mr. Schadle 

 also collected in Hocking county. Mr. Lyonel King spoke of the 

 condition of forest near Lake of Bays, in northern Canada. 

 Although distant from a railroad this region is well settled and very 

 little virgin forest remains. Many of the trees are similar to those 

 in Ohio. Mr. Kostir spent the summer in Hocking county, and 

 spoke of the interesting topography of the region. Miss Sweatman 

 devoted some time to the study of bird's nesting habits on Cedar 

 Point and found that the natural materials at hand were largely 

 used. Miss McAvoy told of finding the mocking bird in large 

 numbers in Hamilton county, where they nest. Mr. Brown gave 

 an interesting report of an experiment in landscape gardening. 

 Prof. Dachnowski spent a part of the time in the Geological 

 Survey and the latter part of the summer in Europe.
