Meeting of October 17, 1905. 



Held at the American Museum of Natural History with twelve members and 

 three visitors present. Mr. Roberts in the chair. 



On motion the Secretary cast one ballot for the election of Professor Wheeler as 

 an active member of the Society. 



Rev. R. E. Brown was proposed by Mr. Groth as a corresponding member. 



The President announced that he had accepted the resignation of Mr. Bueno from

Mr. Schaeffer exhibited a few species of Cicindelidae with the following remarks 

 on some of the species : 



According to Dr. Horn Cicindela viridistica does not occur in our fauna ; the 

 species standing under this name in our lists is C. arizonensis which was described by 

 Bates from material collected in southern Arizona by Morrison. The specimen shown 

 by Mr. Schaeffer was one of Morrison's catch. C. wickhami is very near arizonensis 

 and viridistica and very likely still stands in some collections as viridistica. A few 

 specimens of a variety of hemorrhagica seemingly common in southwestern Utah 

 which comes very close to the variety arizonce as well as a fine series of oregona from 

 southeastern Utah ranging from brown to dark blue were exhibited ; one of the speci- 

 mens of the series being very close to Casey's depressnta and another almost Leng's 

 maricopa. A few specimens of C. obsoleta var. santa clarce were taken in southern 

 Arizona this year. The typical form is bright green with the middle band and hu- 

 meral and apical lunules broken up into more or less rounded spots. One of the speci- 

 mens had the markings entire and connected at the side margin ; another specimen 

 was one of the purple colored varieties mentioned by Bates under his description of 

 C. santa claric ; this specimen had the markings typical, but in addition, a small white 

 line between the middle band and humeral lunule. C. santa clarcc occurs on the 

 plains near the foothills of the Huachuca Mountains. It is a strong flier and can be 

 considered rare as only a few specimens were taken. Three specimens of the very 

 rare Amblychila baroni were exhibited which were captured under large stones in a 

 somewhat shaded but not moist situation. 



Mr Barber read an account of the summer's experience collecting in the Hua- 

 chuca mountains with Messrs. Beyer and Schaeffer. He gave a description of moun- 

 tains, climate and people and mentioned the general results of the collecting and 

 closed with an account of the more common plants and animals found there. 



Meeting of November 21, 1905. 



Held at the American Museum of Natural History. President C. H. Roberts in 

 the chair with ten members and three visitors present.
