Mr. Shoemaker exhibited " Some Insects taken near Slide Mountain, 

 N. Y., in 191S," stating that he spent eight or nine days at a place between 

 Big Indian and the base of the mountain, from June 26 to July 5, and, 

 although more than half the days were disturbed by thunderstorms, that he 

 had been able to obtain many insects by beating and sugaring. Ten specimens 

 of Cychrus canadensis, one of Anthophilax malachiticus , and a great many 

 Elateridas and Cerambycidae were among the beetles shown. 



Mr. Davis read a paper by Stephen G. Rich on " Some Respiratory Struc- 

 tures of Dragon Fly Larvae," illustrated by the author's drawings, figures 

 from Packard, and specimens supplied by Mr. Davis.

 matana, taken at Litchfield, Conn., on hickory, and read a memorandum re- 

 specting same, which will be printed in Miscellaneous Notes.

 at the end of January. Mr. J. W. Angell caught a freshly emerged Cicindela 

 6-guttata in Bronx Park under a log ; Mr. Olsen caught a water-beetle flying ;
