ascertain its range and could now state positively that it occurred on the 

 watershed of the three rivers draining the White Mts., viz.: the Saco, Andros- 

 coggin and Connecticut. The type locality was on a tributary of the first and 

 he had found it also on the Ellis River, another tributary. Two years ago 

 he had found it on the Israel River, a tributary of the Connecticut ; and this 

 year he had found it on the Peabody River, a tributary of the Androscoggin, 

 between Gorham and Pinkham Notch, also east of Gorham on the Andros- 

 coggin itself. Sandy stretches by the river bank are its favorite haunt, but 

 it is occasionally found on the automobile roads. 



Mr. Harris said his collecting was between 1,300 and 2,000 ft. elevation, 

 but some species, sexguttata especially, would doubtless occur at greater ele- 

 vations. Mr. Sherman said he had found one longilabris at Lake of the 

 Clouds, and Messrs. Davis and Shoemaker said that on Whitefast Mt. it 

 occurred all the way to the summit. In reference to the scarcity of punctulata, 

 Mr. Notman said it was abundant at the lower elevations, as at Crown 

 Point, N. Y. 



Mr. Harris closed by speaking of the good prospects for tiger beetles 

 along the Connecticut River. 



Mr. Davis exhibited some interesting Staten Island Lepidoptera, including 

 Papilio turnus and glaucus with two intermediate specimens, one caught by 

 Mr. Burns, August 18, at Fort Wadsworth, the other by himself, August 16, 

 at Watchogue, and a very small specimen caught May 13, some years ago, 

 by Mr. Leng. He also exhibited a series of Epimecis virginaria including 

 examples, male and female, of the dark form carbonaria. 



Mr. Mutchler exhibited volumes 20-26 of Marseul's " L'Abeille," calling 

 attention to the valuable bibliographies it contained, covering the work of 7a 

 of the older authors in even more complete detail than Hagen. 



Mr. Shoemaker exhibited the dark form of Phyciodes pharos, caught in 

 the Catskill Mts. 



Mr. Schott mentioned the capture of Carabus sylvosus, October 12, in a 

 potato lot at Half Way Hollow Hills, Long Island. 



Mr. Sherman exhibited the first page of the new Check List just received 

 from the printers as a sample of type, etc. 



Meeting of November 19.

 present.
