Mr. Schaeffer exhibited a specimen of Leptura abdominalis taken at 

 Lakehurst by Mr. Schott. He also stated that two species of walking sticks 

 occurred in this locality and had been noted in material from Long Island 

 and from Essex Falls, N. J., Diapheromera veliei Walsh and Diapheromera 

 femorata Say. All the material from the above localities consisted of 

 females. 



Mr. Wm. T. Davis stated that Diaplieromera veliei Walsh had been found 

 on Staten Island and at Paterson, N. J. Diapheromera femorata Say, had 

 been collected by him at Tuckerton, Manasquan, Jamesburg and Ramapo, 

 N. J. The species are most easily told apart by the genitalia, as pointed out 

 by Mr. Andrew N. Caudell in the Proceedings of the U. S. Nat. Museum. 



Mr. Davis also exhibited a copy of the recent publication " A Guide to 

 the Insects of Connecticut, Ereplexoptera and Orthoptera of Connecticut," by 

 H. Walden. 



Mr. Schaeffer showed a copy of the publication " A Preliminary Catalogue 

 of the Described Species of Fulgoridae of America North of Mexico," pub- 

 lished some time ago by the Ohio Department of Agriculture. 



Mr. Sherman stated that he had made a trip to the Lake Superior region. 

 He had found collecting very unfavorable except along the beach. He had 

 had twenty-one good days collecting at the latter point and took some 400 

 species and between 8,000 and 10,000 specimens. He spent one week at St. 

 Paul and three weeks at Rochester in Minnesota and had visited Professor 

 Washburn at the Experiment Station. He also had one very good day col- 

 lecting at Edge Brook, near Chicago, in company with Professor Shelford. 



Mr. Leng exhibited a few beetles received from Rev. T. P. Thorman, 

 collected at Tahl Tau Mission House, Telegraph Creek, in the Cassiar Dis- 

 trict of British Columbia, about 58^ N. latitude. The Cicindelidae were rep- 

 resented by two specimens of C. longilabris without white markings and 

 greenish metallic beneath, approaching the variety vestalia, establishing a far 

 northern range for the species. Among the Carabidse were several specimens 

 of Calosoma tepiduin with very roughly granulated surface, approaching a 

 species described from Fort Vancouver under the name anescens. The 

 locality is a little further inland than Glenora, visited by Professor Wickham 

 some years ago, and further collections by Mr. Thorman will be interesting. 



Mr. Franck reported that Pamphila ethlius had been found feeding on 

 the canna in some nvimbers near Maspeth, L. I., last season. Mr. Englehardt 

 had noted the species in a flower garden in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. The 

 occurrence in numbers was interesting, owing to the fact that the species is 

 sovithern in its distribution. 



Meeting of December 19, 191 1. 

 A regular meeting of the New York Entomological Society was held at 

 the American Museum of Natural History, President C. W. Leng in the chair 

 with seventeen members present, and as visitors J. Chester Bradley and 

 Mortimer Leonard, of Cornell L^niversity.
