THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 359 



Washington; Jas. H. Emerton, Boston; Charles Henry Fernald, 

 Amherst, Mass.: Stephen Alfred Forbes, Urbana, 111.; Samuel Henshavv, 

 Cambridge, Mass.; Andrew Delmar Hopkins and Leland Ossian Howard, 

 Washington ; Vernon Lyman Kellogg, Palo Alto, Gal.; Henry H. Lyman, 

 Montreal; James George Needham, Ithaca; William Saunders, Ottawa, 

 and Eugene A. Schwarz, Washington. 



The original Fellows, elected at the first meeting, which was held in 

 New York in December last, are : John Henry Comstock, Ithaca ; James 

 Fletcher, Ottawa ; Henry Skinner, Philadelphia ; Charles J. S. Bethune, 

 •Guelph ; Charles Willison Johnson, Boston ; Herbert Osborn, Columbus, 

 Ohio ; John B. Smith, New Brunswick, N. J.; Francis Marion Webster, 

 Washington ; William Morton Wheeler, New York. 



The whole number of Fellows is thus 25, which is the limit laid down 

 by the Executive Committee. Prof. Osborn, on behalf of the Publication 

 Committee, announced that it did not seem desirable to take over any 

 existing journal, to publish anything that would occupy the field of any 

 existing journal, or to make any of the current periodicals the official 

 organ of the Society. It might, however, prove desirable to undertake 

 sooner or later a dignified series of publications in the form of "Annals" or 

 "Memoirs," which would be distinctly creditable to American entomology. 



The President invited the foreign entomologists who were present to 

 address the meeting, calling upon Dr. Horvath, of Buda-Pesth ; Prof. 

 Kusnezov, St. Petersburg ; Prof. Heymons, Berlin, and Prof. Severin, 

 Bruxelles, each of whom responded with a few words of kindly greeting to 

 the new Society. 



Dr. Holland, who had been asked to bear the greetings of the Society 

 to Dr. Scudder, gave an account of his interview with the venerated 

 invalid, and told of the pleasure which his message of love and respect 

 had afforded. Dr. Scudder desired him to "thank the Society from the 

 fulness of his heart for having remembered an old man, now almost a 

 shadow of his former self" 



Dr. Bethune expressed the thanks of the Society to their entertainers 

 in Boston, and especially the Cambridge Entomological Club. 



Dr. J. B. Smith proposed that the thanks of the meeting should be 

 given to Mr. Kirkland for the delightful opportunity he had afforded them 

 for observing the experiments now being carried on at Saugus. The 

 motion was very heartily concurred in.
