PROCEEDINGS OF THE NEW YORK ENTOMOLOG- 

 ICAL SOCIETY. 



Meeting of October i, 1912. 



A regular meeting of the New York Entomological Society was held 

 October i, 19 12, in the American Museum of Natural History, at 8.15 P. M., 

 President Dr. Raymond C. Osburn in the chair and seventeen members present. 



Mr. Sherman spoke of his visit to the White Mountains in September, and 

 said that below the tree line the collecting was the poorest he had ever expe- 

 rienced, due probably to the cold, wet summer. Above the tree line, however, 

 the pools among the rocks yielded as many water beetles as in former years, 

 and judging from one day spent on the summit, the number of Carabidae 

 under stones was as great as ever. Captures of special interest were Sctitop- 

 terus angusttis, found in Star Lake above the tree line, previously known from 

 Hermit Lake below the tree line, Hydroporus oblongus, also found in Star 

 Lake and previously known from Winnipeg, and Patrobus rugicollis, a species 

 peculiar to the White Mountains, found under stones along both branches of 

 Peabody River. Mr. Sherman spoke of the increasing number of visitors 

 to the White Mountain camps and the greater facilities afforded by the new 

 camp in the Great Gulf, 3,100 feet above sea level, and the addition to the 

 Madison Hut, which now consists of two buildings, one used for cooking while 

 the other is reserved for sleeping. Mr. Sherman recommended the Glen House 

 as headquarters for entomological work in the White Mountains, on account 

 of the numerous trails, which, including the new Davis and the Six Husbands' 

 trail, make many different parts of the mountains accessible. 



Mr. Engelhardt spoke of his six weeks' experiences in Newfoundland and 

 Labrador, part of the time in company with Mr. Leng. Four principal stations 

 were visited in Newfoundland, namely Port aux Basques, Bay St. George and 

 Bay of Islands on the west coast, and Spruce Brook about fifty miles inland. 

 At the first, Port aux Basques, where the first view of Newfoundland from 

 the steamer Bruce shows granitic mountains a thousand feet high, very barren 

 and with large patches of snow in July, no satisfactory hotel was found. A 

 mile and a half north on the railroad a stopping place was found at Channel, 

 a small fishing village, situated amid extremely boreal conditions, where pools 

 among the rocks yielded species akin to those of Labrador. The Cape Ray 

 Mountains in the immediate vicinity make a natural barrier against fog and
