March, 1904.] PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY. 59 



We avoid, besides, to a large extent questions of priority in the plac- 

 ing of articles. The system adopted is that of Comstock's Manual 

 with the sequence reversed. 



It is customary for entomological journals to offer their subscribers 

 the opportunity of having their insects named. We, therefore, call 

 the attention of the readers of the Journal to the excellent facilities 

 of the U. S. National Museum for naming Arthropods in all groups. 

 The usual privilege is reserved of retaining specimens that are desir- 

 able for the national collection. 



PROCEEDINGS OF THE NEW YORK ENTO- 

 MOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



Meeting of October 6, 1903. 



Held at the American Museum of Natural History. 



President C. F. Groth presided with 13 members in attendance. 



The minutes of May 19 were read and approved. 



The treasurer, Mr. Joutel, reported the receipt of bills for printing 500 copies of 

 the June number of the Journal. 



As more than the required number of Journals had been printed and also owing 

 to the fact that the Journal was mailed at the third-rate classification, the bills called 

 for an amount larger than usual. 



The secretary was instructed to correspond with the publication committee and 

 ask for more particulars in reference to the bills. 



The librarian, Mr. Schaeffer, reported the receipt of the following exchanges :
