NOTE ON FOOD OF ALABAMA ARGILLACEA. 

 On October 19th, 1904, at Urbana, Illinois, during a week of high 

 south-west gales, I observed a fresh, unrubbed moth at rest on a small 

 tomato that had been placed on a bench in the sun to finish 

 ripening, and in the process had cracked open. The haustellum was 

 extended down deep into the juicy fruit and the moth gave every 

 appearence of sucking the juice. No other individuals were noticed 

 abroad at that time. F. M. Webster. 



The Curator desires to acknowledge with grateful thanks the receipt 

 of a large number of specimens, representing over a hundred species of 

 Coleoptera, sent by Prof H. F. Wickham, of Iowa City, to fill some of 

 the gaps which he had noticed in the Society's collection when he took 

 part in the proceedings of the last annual meeting.

 and Cicindelid?e from Mr. Norman Criddle, of Aweme, Manitoba,
