190» . ENTOMOLOmCAL SOCIETY. 13 



Mr. James McDunnough, a former member of the Society, now living in Europe, has 

 presented us with a large cabinet of Lepidoptera, and a small cabinet of Coleoptera, — all 

 collected some years ago while he resided in this country. Thirteen drawers of the large 

 caliinet contain North American Lepidoptera, and six of them are filled with a very good series 

 of Euro[)eau butterflies and moths. 



Mr. VV^alker has ])resented us with his collection of Beetles and is ari^anging ihem in the 

 Museum drawers, with those that are already in the collection. Mr. Manghan and Mr. 

 Williams have also presented some specimens to the Museum. 



As in previous years, we subscribed for the" Entomological News" — the Bulletins of the 

 New York State Museum, and the " Journal of the New York Entomological Society," and as 

 our funds were rather low our President has kindly supplied the means for cuntinuint^ our 

 subscriptions to this last named Journal, for the present year. 



Papers on Entomological subjects have also been received from the Central Experimental 

 F.u'm at Ottawa, the United States Department of Agriculture at Washington, from Cornell 

 I'niversity, and other sources. 



Foar new members have been added to our roll during the year, and we have not had any 



resignations ; our recent meetings, also, have shown a gratifying increase in the average 



attendance ; and we fei;l sure that the Branch will go forward, and prosper.
