Mr. Saunders suggested the desirability of the Club appointing a 

 permanent committee to whom disputed points in reference to Entomo- 

 logical matters might be referred. On motion of Mr. Mann, seconded 

 by Mr. Saunders, it was resolved that the Permanent Committee of the 

 Club shall consist of the President, as chairman, and four other members 

 to be named by him. 



Mr. Lintner presented to the meeting a very complete and extensive 

 list of insects taken at sugar by him during the present season. These 

 were arranged in a tabular form m a very neat and methodical manner, 

 showing at a glance the insects taken each evening, and whether they 

 were abundant or scarce. 



On motion of Mr. Riley, Dr. Larkin was requested to bring before the 

 Club some facts in reference to a mite said to be parasitic on the human 

 subject, when he read a very amusing letter from an afflicted patient in 

 reference to this matter. The Club then adjourned.

 named. The imago has been very common with us for several years, but 

 until the present season its larval history had eluded my investigation. 



Early in April I found among the roots of a bit of white clover sod a 

 very active and singular larva, whose long and rather sprangling thoracic 

 legs gave it, at first glance, the appearance of a Coleopterous larva. A 

 second look, however, discovered the characteristics of a Lepidopteron 

 of which the following description was taken : 



Length, 0.75 inch. ; diameter greatest at head and 1st joint, slightly 

 tapering thence posteriorly. Incisions quite deep. Color a dark purple 

 brown, the general surface dull, having the appearance of very fine
