Tn Neuroplera Mr. Poriitt recorded Coniopteryx o/ettrodiformis as fairly 

 common in two ^voods at Huddersfield, the species only having previously 

 been recorded in the county from the Cleveland district. Chn/sopa fenella, 

 after an apparent scarcity f(n- some years, had been abundant again at 

 Huddersfield. 



In Hymenopiera Mr. J. F. Muaham recorded Pvosopis hyalinata and many 

 other species from Selbv ; and Mr. R. Buttertield had found numerous nests oi 

 Mynnica ruhva race hbicornh at Grassington and Keigbley, and Tormicoxenm 

 rdtiduins in nests of Formica rvfa near Hebden Bridge. Also Sphecodes 

 pilifroHs, S. varieyatus, and S. hyulinatus at Keighley. 



In Diptera Mr. Buttertield reported Microdon mutabilis and Ceratopoyon 

 myrmecophilm from pupae found in nests of Formica f mat at Grassington. 



The election of officers for 1919 resulted in the retention of Mr. Porritt as 

 President and the re-election of all other officers and Committees. 



The exhibits showed a tendency towards a further interest among York- 

 shire entomologists in the "neglected orders" than has heretofore been the 

 case. This is a very welcome state of affairs, as the distribution of the species 

 of many orders is .still little known. Among the more interesting insects 

 shown were : —
