He stated that he had been arranging the publications of the society, group- 

 ing the various kinds together so as to be more accessible to the members. 



Under scientific discussion Mr. Leng read an article on " Collecting Beetles 

 in Georgia." In July, 1910, he made his second trip in company with Mr. Davis 

 to northern Georgia and spent two weeks mostly in the vicinity of Clayton and 

 including a four days' trip to Ransom's Mill. The altitude was about 2,000 feet 

 with the mountain ridges extending 3,700 feet. The season was a good one and 

 some 600 species of Coleoptera were taken, but owing to the fact that it was 

 later in the year than when the first trip was made about 250 species were differ- 

 ent from those taken the first time. 



Among the interesting forms taken were Amphicoma sp., Cychrus andrewsii, 

 C. bicarinatns, C. canadensis, C. violaceus (i specimen), Carabus limbatus and 

 other large Carabidae in traps, Carabus limbatus being uniformly smaller than 

 those taken in the north, Pierostichus acutus, Serica n. var., Agrilus fusci- 

 pennis, Lactica iris and Lema solani. 



Mr. Shoemaker exhibited some Arizona beetles collected by his brother 

 while in the Indian service. They were from the arid regions of Arizona and 

 there were some fifty species shown, including several Tenebrionidae. Photo- 

 graphs of the regions were also shown. 



Mr. Leng, who in company with Dr. Lutz and Mr. Davis, had just returned 

 from a collecting trip to Florida, commented briefly upon the trip. 



They had gone to Florida, November i, going to Jacksonville first. Mr. 



..eng and Mr. Davis remained here three days. Dr. Lutz went on down the 



Jast coast. Around Lakeland they found a varied country with sand hills, and 



many lakes with steep sides. A number of species of trees were noted, such as 



oaks, pines and magnolias, and here they had fair success in light collecting. 



At Punta Gorda many kinds of oaks were noted and beyond this toward 

 the gulf shore the country was found to be very level, with pine trees for many 

 miles. Good sweeping was done in low places and sifting in debris on the 

 beach. Somewhat back from the shore a mixture of mangroves and other trees 

 were found and some good species were obtained here by beating. 



Dr. Lutz showed some illustrated postal cards of many of the places and 

 spoke briefly of Fort Myers and the other places he had visited. 



Mr. Leng said that on trees peculiar to Florida, peculiar insects were found 

 but under the same conditions as existed in the north similar insects occurred. 

 Further, that of the species taken at Clayton, 5 per cent were different from
