xvi monthly proceedings 



February 9, 1883. 

 Vice-Director Dr. Horn in the chair. 



The Publication Committee announced the completion of vol. x. of 

 the Transactions of the American Entomological Society to page 250. 



Dr. Horn called attention to a recent publication in which the author 

 denied the existence of the outer or palpiform lobe in the maxillae of 

 the Gyrinidae. A preparation was exhibited showing the lobe in ques- 

 tion in one of our species of Gyrinus. The preparation will be sent 

 abroad as an evidence that the figure already published by Dr. Horn was 

 correct (Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. 1881, vol. x, p. 150).
