describing the number of species found at West Point in early spring by- 

 examining the windrows or washup at the end of the reservoir, and from 

 Charles Dury giving the only record for Ohio of the dragon fly, Anax longipes, 

 one specimen seen in Spring Grove Cemetery, but not caught despite two days' 

 endeavor and a permit he said he obtained to shoot it. 



Mr. Engelhardt spoke briefly of his experiences at Claremont, N. H., May 

 I to 3, where Feralia major was found in pine and hemlock groves, and many 

 other species caught by day and at night. * 



Mr. J. W. Angell exhibited his collection of Lucamis cervus and its 

 varieties and called especial attention to a monstrosity in which the tibiae 

 were double. 



Mr. Schaeffer mentioned the various published records of monstrosities, 

 especially the papers by Kraatz, Horn and Jayne. 



Dr. Lutz said in breeding Drosophila specimens with ten or twelve legs 

 have occurred, but the character has not proven constant. 



Mr. Leng exhibited a specimen of Ceratomegilla iilkei, a ladybug, caught 

 by Dr. Anderson in the Mackenzie delta, and remarked that the generic char- 

 acter described by Crotch, the dilation of the apex of the second antennal 

 joint was missing, and its existence in the type possibly another instance of 

 deformity, in which case the genus Ceratomegilla would become identical with 

 Megilla. The structure of the claw is in fact identical with Megilla, and the 

 pattern of maculation the same except that the black pigment is more ex- 

 tended in ulkei. 



Mr. Schaeffer engaged to examine the type when next in Boston.
