in Hemiptera in adaptation to their several life habits, dealing in turn with 

 the structures involved in feeding, locomotion and reproduction. 



His remarks were discussed by Mr. Davis, Mr. Dickerson and Dr. Lutz. 



Mr. Nicolay read a paper on " Anthophilax and other northern Ceramby- 

 cidse," which will be printed in the Journal. His remarks were discussed by 

 Messrs. Davis, Leng, Barber, Weiss and Dr. Forbes. 



Mr. Weiss said that while Rhododendron leaves were not often attacked 

 by beetles, the snout beetle, Otiorhynchus sulcatus, feeds on the foliage in the 

 adult stage and on the roots in its larval stage. 



Mr. Dickerson added that they might be trapped beneath boards. 



Mr. Davis and Dr. Forbes commented on the gaps in the distribution of 

 Anthophilax, which Mr. Leng said might be only apparent, due to the early 

 date at which they appeared, according to Mr. Nicolay's data. 



Mr. Davis, reverting to Mr. Dow's account of Lilith, Adam's first wife, 

 exhibited females of Automeris to var. lilith and pointed out how little they 

 differed from io. 



Dr. Forbes said the difference was in the male and added : " You cannot 

 be sure of females anyhow."
