Mr. Eeng spoke of " Collecting on Mt. Whiteface in the Adirondacks." He 

 gave an account, of his collecting experiences, with a general description of the local- 

 ity, and named some of the more conspicuous species of Coleoptera taken, among 

 which were : Cychrits brevoorti, C. canadensis, C. leonardi, Ptercrsiichus puncta- 

 tissimus. P. luezatii, P. mandibularis, Trechus chalybcetis and Platynus ^.-ptmc- 

 tatus. All of the insects taken near the summit were distinctly northern species, 

 otherwise known from Hudson Bay and British America. 



Mr. Bueno read a paper on the genus Notonecta, stating that of the twenty de- 

 scribed species, twelve are peculiarly American and the thirteenth extends entirely 

 across the palearctic region through Europe, Asia and in North America down 

 through British Columbia. Eleven of these thirteen species are to be found within 

 the United States. He discussed the structural and color peculiarities of these eleven 

 species as well as their habitat.
