the loss it has sustained in the passing of a distinguished hon- 
orary member, Dr. David Sharp. But much greater, however, 
is the loss to Entomological Science which has been so much 
advanced by the devoted work of this great man. To the loved 
ones who survive Dr. Sharp, this Society extends its sincerest 
sympathy and Aloha.” 
Upon motion of Mr. Swezey, it was unanimously voted that 
this resolution be adopted and a copy sent to the bereaved 
widow. 
Mr. Fullaway stated that Mr. Muir had informed him by 
letter that he would later on write up an obituary of Dr. Sharp.

NOTES AND EXHIBITIONS. 
Pheidole megacephala Fabricius. — Mr. Giffard observed a 
swarm of queens and males of this ant in flight over his prem- 
ises on Keeaumoku Street about 6:30 in the morning of one day 
in October. He stated that the swarm was about four feet wide 
and forty to fifty feet long. Mr. Ehrhorn stated that he had 
observed smaller swarms of these ants on several occasions, and 
that they usually swarmed after a rain-storm. 
Anicetus annulatus—Mr. Timberlake exhibited one specimen 
of this species reared by Mr. H. Compere from Cocecus hes- 
peridum on Aralia, taken in quarantine at San Francisco from 
the steamship “Taiyo Maru.” Also two females from Coccus 
hesperidum collected at Sacramento, California, in 1912; a small 
series collected by Mr. Muir at Chin San, Macao, China, in 
December, 1906; and a few from China reared by Mr. Koebele 
under his number 1225. The species was described in 1919 
from specimens collected on Oahu and Kauai.
