taken by sweeping meadow grasses. Dr. Forbes confirmed the effect of high 

 winds by his own experiences. 



Mr. Harris spoke of his visit to Asheville, N. C, in May, where he 

 obtained a fine series of Cicindela splendida, but failed to find C. patruela 

 and C. unipunctata. 



In the valley of the French Broad he observed numbers of hellgrammites 

 crawling on the moist sand, which Mr. Davis said were probably leaving the 

 water to transform. 



Mr, Harris also spoke of his visit to Callicoon, on the Delaware River, 

 with Mr. Davis and Mr. Leng, to obtain Cicindela marginipennis at the 

 locality visited by Schaupp about forty years ago, and of his unpleasant ex- 

 periences with an irate farmer. 



Mr. Schaeffer spoke of his own work on Long Island during the year, 

 and of the excellent work of Mr. Nicolay, of the Brooklyn Society. 



On invitation, Mr. Nicolay described the localities at Bellport and Wading 

 River, his captures of Carabus sylvosus, Calosoma wilcoxi and frigidum, 

 Teninochila virescens and other interesting species. Clerus ichneunioneus 

 was found running actively up and down a telegraph pole while Sandalus 

 niger was collected on the Palisades on the instalment plan, portions of two 

 dead specimens being patched to make one perfect specimen.
