from Allaben to the local collection and a number of other specimens to the 

 members present. 



Mr. Olsen, referring to a European Aphid previously reported by him as 

 occurring in this country, added that he had learned from Gillette of its occur- 

 rence in other parts of the United States. 



Mr. Sherman spoke of his visit to the White Mountains in September and 

 especially of the increased facilities afforded for collecting by the permanent 

 camps on the summit, at the Lake of the Clouds, which is in the heart of the 

 alpine garden, and of the prospect of additional camps being built at Hermit 

 Lake and in the Great Gulf. Many new trails have been added by the Appa- 

 lachian Mountain Club. He met Sheriff, of Boston, while in the mountains 

 who showed him a Carabus chamissonis found under a stone, still entirely 

 white, though it darkened in a few hours. 



Mr. Engelhardt spoke of his visits to Pleasant Valley, in the foothills of 

 the Berkshires, where he had good collecting, particularly at night, and was 

 pleased to find the postmaster a naturalist. He described particularly a bait 

 bottle in which a mouse, accidentally caught, died and served to attract Sil- 

 phidae in such numbers that the bottle was entirely filled. 



Mr. Sleight spoke of the material collected abroad by Mr. Holinan and 

 sent to him. 



Mr. Davis spoke briefly of his visit at the end of May to Rock City in the 

 western part of the state and of several visits to Long Island, exhibiting 

 dragon flies caught by shooting charges of fine shot at them with a sling shot. 

 He also read a letter from Charles Dury, in reference to the latter's journey 

 through Arizona, Nevada and California, and showed a copy of the recent 

 work by Bentley B. Fulton, " The Free Crickets of New York : Life History 

 and Bionomics," being Tech. Bull. No. 42 issued by N. Y. Agl. Exp. Sta., 

 Geneva, N. Y., to which he gave the highest commendation as the first com- 

 plete and accurate treatment of the subject, regretting only that a botanical 

 error appeared on page 30, where the bur oak (Q. macrocarpa) should be the 

 post oak (Q. minor), the bur oak not being found, so far as known, on Long 

 Island. The error is repeated on page 27. Dr. Lutz called attention to the 

 return of W. S. Genung, known some years ago by his collections in Georgia, 

 Florida, Cape Breton and Newfoundland, to entomological activity in his 

 seventy-second year, his present address being New Augustine, Fla. 



Mr. Woodruff spoke of finding an unusual dragon fly again at Litchfield, 

 Conn., from June 30 to July 15, the species being Leucorhinia frigida, and 

 represented by males only. 



Mr. Bird spoke of his continued search for boring lepidopterous larvae 

 and said he had now succeeded in finding another species within the fifty-mile 

 limit. 



Mr. Hall exhibited a Staten Island specimen of Limenitis Ursula var. 

 albofasciata taken by Oscar Fulda, August 22 ; and commented on other local 

 records for this rare form. 



Mr. J. W. Angell spoke of collecting at Twin Lakes, Conn., in favorable
