Mr. Engelhardt placed on record the capture on April 2-/ on Hempstead 

 plains, of Graphiphora garmani, previously known from Illinois and north- 

 western regions, except for specimens caught at east New York by Mr. 

 Shoemaker. 



Mr. Engelhardt also exhibited a moth caught at Central Park, Long Island, 

 which thus far has not been identified with any known species of genus. 



Mr. Grossbeck exhibited as a monstrosity, a specimen of Heterocampa 

 inornata, which came to light in Florida, in which the head of the larva is 

 attached to the head of the moth. 



Mr. Wintersteiner placed on record the capture of two specimens of 

 Cercyon littoralis at Stony Point in September. 



On motion it was voted to omit the June meetings. 



Meeting of October 7, 



A regular meeting of the New York Entomological Society was held Octo- 

 ber 7, 1913, at 8:15 P. M., in the American Museum of Natural History. 

 President Dr. Raymond C. Osburn in the chair, and sixteen members and 

 three visitors present. 



The President read letters of Mrs. Annie Trumbull Slosson and Morris 

 K. Jesup dated in December, 1892, asking and granting permission for the 

 Society to hold its meetings in the American Museum, which letters had been 

 forwarded to him by Mr. Beutenmuller. 



Mr. Schaeffer, as the only member in continuous attendance during the 

 intervening twenty-one years, recalled the meetings held previous to December, 

 1892, at the residences of various members, and in the German American 

 School on Madison Avenue, where Mr. Harris also recalled being present 

 as a visitor. 



Mr. deVyver read a report of the Jubilee meeting of the Entomological 

 Society of Ontario, August 27 to 29, which he attended with Dr. Felt, as 

 delegate from this Society. 



Mr. Davis reported briefly on his visit to Florida in September, during 

 which he made collections^ at Jacksonville, Titusville, Miami, Cocoanut Grove, 

 Big Pine Key and Key West. At Titusville he was fortunate in securing 

 quarters at LaGrange, about three miles from the station amid congenial sur- 

 roundings, and at Big Pine Key also, with the Sands family. Many West 

 Indian insects were found there and on the gumbo limbo trees at Key West. 

 Mr. Davis exhibited a living Conocephahis mexicaniis fuscostriatus found at 

 night by the use of the lantern, and the skin it was shedding when caught. 

 He commented on the sharp little pads of wings. He also spoke of the large 

 number of cicadas obtained by the use of a gun loaded with mustard shot. 



Mr. Sleight, who accompanied Mr. Davis, brought out the hardships of 

 the journey, due to the large number of mosquitos and red bugs encountered. 

 The latter were found the first day at Jacksonville and continued throughout 

 the journey to be very annoying, while the mosquitos were so abundant at 

 Big Pine Key that even Mr. Davis was forced to run on one occasion.
