Miss Mitchell: Regarding the sand-fly occurrence in cities, I can 

 remember a good many cases of sand-fly annoyance in this city, 

 away from any apparent source where they might breed. There have 

 been several notes published on that in the proceedings of the Entomo- 

 logical Society of Washington. 



President F. L. Washburn: Do you have pellagra here in the 

 city? 



Miss Mitchell: There were no endemic cases. Three have 

 been brought in from outside. 



Adjournment.
