Mr. Davis proposed Mr. Alfred C. Burrill, 317 West 56th st., as an active

Mr. Schaeffer exhibited a few of the rarer or new species of.Coleoptera taken this 

 year in the Huachuca Mountains of Arizona, also a new Oncideres from Texas and 

 Oncideres irroratus taken by Professor Snow in southern Arizona, which is new to

Mr. Leng read a paper on ' ' Collecting in the Adirondacks. ' ' He described the 

 localities in the vicinity of Mt. Marcy and Whiteface, referring especially to the great 

 accumulation of decayed trees and the deep damp moss found near the summits of 

 those mountains. He also described the mid-day flight of insects of all orders, but 

 especially Coleoptera, noticed in July at the rocky top of Whiteface Mountain, the 

 insects being apparently carried unwillingly to the top by the air currents. Mr. Bar- 

 ber said that he had observed the same flight at the top of Mt. Katahdin in Maine 

 and Mrs. Slosson has also noticed the same occurrence on Mt. Washington. 



Mr. Leng exhibited a part of the beetles taken, among which a number of north- 

 ern species were noticeable. The Carabida; were strongly represented and the Coccin- 

 ellidse were particularly numerous. 



Mr. Davis read a paper entitled " Mantispas at Lakehurst, New Jersey." He 

 stated that both Mantispa brunnea Say and Mantispa interrupta Say have been 

 reported from New Jersey, but the former species has been considered quite rare. 

 Recently a number of M. brunnea have been taken from the small oaks at Lakehurst, 

 N. J., during July and August. A single male of this species was captured on May
