continued, and Mr. Moffatt was requested to do for the Coleoptera what 

 he has already so successfully accomplished with the Lepidoptera. 



In the afternoon the Society met at 2 o'clock. Mr. W. H. Harrington 

 was present in addition to those above mentioned. Mr. Lyman exhibited 

 a series of specimens of the different species of Callimorpha which he 

 had described in his paper last year (C. E. xix., p. 181) and remarked 

 upon their various peculiarities. He thought it most desirable that 

 names should be attached to the different varieties, even though they may 

 hereafter be found to belong to the same species. Messrs. Fletcher, 

 Fyles and Moffat made remarks upon the subject, and agreed that all 

 distinct forms should have separate names. 



Mr. Fletcher gave an account of his visit to Nepigon, Lake Superior, 

 early in July, in company with Mr. S. H. Scudder, of Cambridge, 

 Mass., for the purpose of collecting the eggs of various rare species of 

 butterflies. He described the various modes they had employed in order 

 to induce the females to deposit their eggs, and recounted the great 

 success achieved in securing the eggs of no less than seventeen species of 

 butterflies and capturing a number of others. 



Rev. Dr. Bethune exhibited a number of specimens of Colias 

 eurytheme. chiefly of the form eriphyli, which he had taken at Port 

 Arthur on the 1st of September last, and gave an account of his trip to 

 the Nepigon River, exhibiting a large number of specimens of butterflies 

 and other insects captured thereon August 21st, 22nd, and 30th. Among 

 these may be especially mentioned Colias interior and eurytheme, 

 Argynnis electa, atlantis, chariclea and bellona, Phyciodes tharos, Grapta 

 fawius andprogue, Pyrantels huntera and cardui, Limenitis arthemis, etc. 



Rev. T. W. Fyles read a paper on Chionobas Jutta, in which he 

 recounted his success in rearing the insect through all its stages. 



Mr. Fletcher and Dr. Bethune spoke of the desirability of issuing a 

 series of papers on popular and economic entomology in the Canadian 

 Entomologist, and urged upon the members present the necessity of 

 co-operating in the work. The Editor also drew the attention of the 

 meeting to the duty of at once providing the material required for the 

 Annual Report of the Society. 



The President laid on the table specimen sheets and plates of Mi. 

 Scudder's great work on the Butterflies of the Eastern States and Canada, 

 which were examined by the members with much interest. He also
