THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 175 



Mountain region give every promise of being richer in insect remains than 

 any other country in the world, the material for this volume will be more 

 ample than any other student in fossil entomology has been able to com- 

 mand. 



For the evident omission of reference to much valuable work done 

 during the period reviewed, I ask indulgence. The time that I had 

 allotted to the preparation of my sketch was found, too late, to be quite 

 insufficient for the extended bibliographical examinations required for 

 even an approach to completeness. I offer it only as a partial sketch, and 

 as such please accept it. 



On motion, the thanks of the Club were tendered to the President for 

 his able and interesting address, with the request that a copy be sent to 

 the Canadian Entomologist for publication. 



The Club next proceeded to consider the amendment to the Constitu- 

 tion proposed at the St. Louis meeting, and after much discussion, the 

 amendment was adopted in the following form : 



i st — No resolution affecting important scientific questions shall be 

 adopted at any meeting of the Club unless there shall be present at least 

 seven members who shall have been enrolled at least one year previous to 

 said meeting. 



2nd — When any motion has been carried by the Club, such motion 

 shall not be rescinded at any subsequent meeting unless there shall be 

 present at least seven persons who shall have been enrolled as members 

 one year or more previous to said meeting. 



3rd — Five members shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of 

 ordinary business. 



The Secretary was instructed to draw up a list of members of the 

 Club, to be embodied in the record of its proceedings, including all those 

 who had been present at previous meetings. 



The second meeting was held at 4 : 30 p. m., the President in the chair. 



Mr. Grote exhibited specimens of Pseudohasis eglanterina sent him by 

 Mr. Jas. Behrens, of San Francisco, who had collected them on the top 

 of Mount Shasta. These differed from the ordinary specimens in being 

 almost entirely black on the upper side. Mr. Grote expressed the opinion 

 that this variation was mainly due to the climatic influences to which they 

 were subjected in this elevated situation.
