C. J. S. Bethune was unanimously requested to continue to act as Editor, and 

 Messrs. Saunders, Reed and Denton were appointed a Committee to assist him 

 in the work. The sum of one hundred dollars per annum was also voted to

The following was also adopted : " That the hearty thanks of this Society 

 are tendered to the Rev. C. J. B. Bethune, for his untiring zeal and activity 

 while holding the office of Secretary-Treasurer during the last eight years." 



The meeting then adjourned. 



MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. 

 Colias Philodice. — I suspect that at least two species are passing under 

 the name of Colias Philodice. I bred from the egg several larvae last season 

 that differed in important respects from those I had before bred in like manner, 

 and which last agreed with Mr. Saunders' description in vol. i. Can. Ent. p. 54. 

 In the first named, on each segment, beneath the white lateral stripe, was a 

 black spot, semicircular, and conspicuous. Mr. Saunders makes no mention 

 of these spots, nor had I before observed them on other larvae. The imagos 

 from these larvae are of one of the peculiar varieties, or what has been consi- 

 dered as such, of C. Philodice. The species is known to vary widely, but 

 some of the supposed varieties are extreme — almost too much so to be consi- 

 dered varieties, unless proved to be so by actual breeding from the egg. —

PupjE and Ova of Lepidoptera. — I am desirous to obtain, if possible, 

 live Pupae and Ova of certain Canadian and other North American Lepidop- 

 tera. Would purchase, or give in exchange English or other European species.

Collecting Tour in Western Texas and New Mexico. — At the 

 request of several gentlemen iu this country and Europe, I intend to make 

 an extensive eight or nine months Entomological collecting tour in Western 

 Texas and Southern New Mexico, if sufficient means can be raised. I 

 therefore invite every Entomologist, who wishes to enrich his collection with 

 valuable and unknown species, to assist me in the undertaking. To give 

 everybody a fair chance to get a part of my collections at a limited price, I 

 will divide them into shares at the following rates :
