THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 219 



Anterior wing: First cell between radius and radial sector not 

 greatly longer than third ; cell M 3 (upper division of "third cubital") not 

 extending so far basad as cell M 4 ; at least seven forked veins on lower 

 margin, the first fork very large. The figure shows other important 

 characters. 



Hab. — Miocene shales of Florissant, Station 13 B. (S. A. Rohwer.) 



For comparison, I show the "third cubital" of the allied living genera 

 Nothochrysa and Allochrysa, the figures copied from Banks. (Trans. 

 Am. Ent. Soc, Vol. XXIX.) It will be seen that Allorfirysa shows an 

 exaggeration of the condition found in P. concinnula ; while P. ferruginea 

 combines the characters of Allochrysa and Nothochrysa. In the cells 

 between the radius and radial sector P. ferruginea is like P. stricta, Scudd., 

 but the latter is considerably larger, and differs in other details.

ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF ONTARIO. 

 Montreal Branch. 



The 36th annual, and 302nd regular, meeting of the Montreal Branch 

 was held at 74 McTavish street, on May 8th, the President, Mr. Geo. A. 

 Moore, in the chair, 12 members being present. The reports of the 

 Council, the Sec. -Treasurer and Curator and Librarian were read and 

 adopted. The retiring President gave an interesting address on the work 

 the Branch is doing, and urged the members to make definite plans as to 

 the filling up of gaps in their collections, or obtaining knowledge of life- 

 histories or habits of certain species with which they are not familiar, and 

 to strive during the summer to obtain the desired results. The Mount 

 Royal Entomological Club was amalgamated with our Society at the 

 beginning of the present year, and the Branch is in a flourishing state, 

 a number of young and enthusiastic members having been recently added 

 to the roll. The election of officers for the ensuing year resulted as 

 follows : President, Henry H. Lyman ; Vice-President, G. A. Southee ; 

 Sec. -Treasurer, A. F. Winn ; Curator and Librarian, L. Gibb ; Council, 

 Geo. A, Moore. G. Chagnon, E. C. Barwick, F. Parkins, Jr. 



Mr. Lyman read a paper entitled " A Spring Outing," illustrated by 

 specimens of Lepidoptera, and pressed plants collected on a trip to Wash- 

 ington, D. C., about the end of April of last year. 



The first field day of the season was arranged to be held at St. Hilaire, 

 Que., on Victoria Day, May 24th. A. F. Winn, Sec.
