 Dr. Horn's paper, presented at the May meeting. They also reported 

 that they had accepted from Mr. A. R. Grote a paper in reply to that of 

 Mr. John B. Smith on the Heliothinae, and as they deemed it proper 

 that the two papers should appear together in the Transactions, the con-

 was approved and the request granted.
