The curator. Dr. Lutz, exhibited the cases holding 144 Schmitt boxes, 

 prepared for the reception of the Hymenoptera and Diptera belonging to the 

 local collection. 



Mr. Olsen, of the field committee, reported on the arrangements for the 

 Decoration Day excursion to Newfoundland, N. J. 



On motion of Dr. Love it was voted to dispense with the meetings of 

 the society during June. 



Dr. Lutz on speaking concerning the results of the American Museum of 

 Natural History Expedition to add material to the local collection, outlined 

 the route thus far followed and compared the different localities visited. He 

 discussed the characteristics of the faunal regions of New Jersey and gave it 

 as his opinion that local conditions, soil, moisture, etc., would determine dis- 

 tribution within the state rather than topographical conditions. 



Mr. Leng mentioned the using of a light to attract beetles along the muddy 

 banks of the Passaic River. By this means he captured seventeen species, 

 mostly of the genera Platymis and Boiibidiuni. 



Mr. Bischoi? exhibited two parasites of the cockroach. He also mentioned 

 examining ant hills near Newark, N. J., and the capture of some good beetles 

 by tearing these to pieces. 



Mr. Davis exhibited a specimen of Largiis succinctiis taken at Baldwin, 

 Long Island, which appears to be a good record for so northern a locality. 

 Mr. Davis also showed specimens of Cicindela generosa taken at Old Bridge. 

 N. J., which showed some variation in their markings: also a series of Bninins 

 davisi from Wyandach, L. I.. Lakehurst. N. J., and Japank, L. I., showing 

 considerable variation from the normal. 



Mr. Leng stated that Casey was of the opinion that the species he had 

 called Bnimus septentrionalis vAr. davisi was new and should be called Brumns 

 daz'isi Leng. 



Mr. Southwick spoke of a new insect, a caterpillar, the moth of which 

 he had not seen, atifecting rhododendrons. 



Mr. Engelhardt stated that from the character of the work it was prob- 

 ably a moth of the genus Scsia which had been destructive in a similar way 

 in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. 



Mr Southwick mentioned that he had obtained a photograph of Dr. 

 Zabriskie for the society. 



Mr. Joutel exhibited a specimen of Cylene robinia captured about the
