 the inconvenient but interesting experience served to corroborate Cope's men- 

 tion of its occurrence in North Carolina, for Mr. Brimley's List, without in- 

 terfering with his insect collecting. 



Mr. Barber added some further details of the interest locally excited by 

 Mr. Davis's experience and spoke of the case with which Southport is reached 

 by Atlantic Coast Line in about eighteen hours, and the excellent prospects 

 for collecting there later in the season. There was no sweeping to speak of in 

 the latter part of April and little sweeping, the collecting being mainly in 

 beating pine and cedar. 



Mr. Davis spoke again of some of the friends he had visited, particularly 

 of Mr. and Mrs. Manee, the latter being an able assistant to her husband, ob- 

 taining interesting results from trowel investigations of suspicious holes in the 

 ground, and of Mr. Schwarz and H. S. Barber, with his filial devotion to his 

 senior. 



Mr. Dow exhibited beetles from Lahaway, offering any desirable specimens 

 to his fellow members, and of the photograph of Mr. Shoemaker, taken to 

 commemorate his fiftieth birthday.
