ANNUAL MEETING OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL CLUB OF 



THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR THE 



ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE. 



The annual gathering of the Entomologists of North America, in 

 connection with the meeting of the A. A. A. S., took place this year in the 

 city of Cleveland, Ohio. While much regret was felt at the absence of 

 many eminent Entomologists who have always taken an active part in 

 the work of the Club, and at the consequent smallness of the attendance, 

 the meeting was much enjoyed by those who were present, and the 

 valuable papers read were received with great interest. 



The first session was held at 9 a.m. in a class-room of the Central 

 High School Building on Wednesday, August 15th] the President, Mr. 

 John B. Smith, of Washington, in the chair. In the absence of the 

 Secretary (Prof. A. J. Cook, of the Agricultural College, Mich.) Professor 

 Herbert Osborn, of Ames, Iowa, was requested to act in his place. Owing 

 to the smallness of the attendance the Club adjourned till 1.15 p.m., 

 when the President read his annual address on " Entomological Collec- 

 tions in the United States." In this interesting and valuable paper, 

 which, as well as the other papers read at the meetings of the Club, will, 

 we understand, be published in full in Entomologica Americana, the writer 

 gave an account of all the great collections, both public and private, in 

 the United States. Among general collections he especially mentioned 

 those of Mr. Bolter, of Chicago, and Mr. Henry Edwards, of New York ; 

 in Coleoptera he specified the collections of Dr. Horn, of Philadelphia, 

 Mr. Ulke, of Washington, and Messrs. Hubbard and Schwarz, and Lieut. 

 Casey ; in Lepidoptera those of Messrs. Henry Edwards, Neumogen?
