 Entomology," and in general very ably presented. The history of entomology 

 and entomologists was very interesting, though it treated rather unduly of the 

 French, and the treatment of wing venation seemed to lay undue stress upon 

 the theories of Woodworth. In this connection he called attention to the 

 excellent paper in Ann. de la Soc. Ent. de France, LXXXIX, 1920, pp. 1-50, 

 " La Nervation alaire des Coleopteres." by A. d'Orchymont. Dr. Bequaert 

 praised highly the moderation shown in dividing insects into orders as opposed 

 to the excessive subdivisions of Handlirsch and other German authors. 



In reference to the history of entomology, Mr. Sherman recalled the paper 

 by John G. Morris in Silliman's Journal. 



Mr. Watson, under the title " Notes on Lepidoptera," exhibited the milk- 

 weed butterfly, with many interesting aberrations and some of its foreign 

 relatives. His remarks thereon will be printed in full. 



Mr. Davis exhibited a bound volume of W. D. Funkhouser's papers.
