sects have been only partly worked up but, besides the discovery of an ex- 

 tended range for Cicindela parotvana, already noted in the minutes, Mr. Engel- 

 hardt mentioned the capture of Amblycheila schwarzi, of four Sphinx dolli 

 on evening primrose and of Lyccrna and Carabus at 8,000 ft. elevation in the 

 Pine Valley Mts. on June i, though there had been is inches of snow the 

 night before. The aspens showed many workings of Saperda in these moun- 

 tains, but it was too early to obtain specimens. On the Kolob Plateau the 

 larvae of Hemileuca ( ?) were found on Indian Currant, and are being reared 

 by Mr. Doll, also a small Sphinx on dandelion. At St. George, where the 

 mild climate permits the cultivation of sugar cane, figs, etc., the yucca was 

 abundant and Mr. Engelhardt secured larvre, pupae and adults, the latter very 

 rapid at midday, of the skipper that breeds on it, ^giale yttccce var. colora- 

 densis, and exhibited specimens, including the food plant and galleries made 

 by the larva. 



Near the little town of Hurricane, he visited a cave which served as a 

 natural trap and on the countless mummied remains of the animals caught, 

 found the Tenebrionid beetle Cryptoglossa verrucosa common. Much atten- 

 tion was paid to Cicadas on account of Mr. Davis's interest in them ; one was 

 remarkable for the similarity of its song to the noise of the rattlesnake. 



Mr. Davis stated that five species of Cicadae had been collected by Mr. 

 Engelhardt and that it was the song of Okanagana schaefferi that resembled 

 the whir of a rattlesnake, and in this instance occasionally deceived the 

 listener. Mr. Englehardt collected 17 males and two females of this species 

 in the foothills of the Kolob Mts., in Washington Co., Utah, June 24, 1917. 



In reply to a question by Mr. Schaeffer, Mr. Englehardt said the two 

 specimens of Amblycheila shwarsi were found drowned in a pool in the nearly 

 dry bed of an arroyo and were perhaps washed down the canon, so that little 

 could be safely said of the environment. 



Mr. Engelhard't experience with coyotes, mormons and rough travel were 

 very interesting, and illustrated, as well as the insects shown, the possibilities 

 of a little known region. 



Mr. Nicolay as Chairman of Field Committee, presented the following 

 schedule of outings: March 31. Palisades; April 7, Staten Island; April 14,
