Giffard from larvae found on a woolen hat at his bungalow at 
Twenty-nine Miles, Olaa, Hawaii. This is commonly known as the 
webbing clothes-moth. It has previously been recorded in Hono- 
lulu by Dr. Illingworth feeding in brushes at the University of 
Hawai (Proc. Haw. Ent. Soc., Il], p. 274, 1917). Mr. Tim- 
berlake showed a parasite Apanteles hawatiensis which he 
stated Mr. Giffard had reared from a cocoon of this moth, at 
the same locality. 
Epigramorpha fidilis—Mr. Swezey exhibited and discussed 
a snail which he had found crawling about in a package of 
cane sent from Wailuku, Maui, packed in moss. The moss 
was secured in Wailuku and was originally from E. O. Hall & 
Son, Honolulu, who probably imported it from the States for 
packing material. The snail, according to Dr. Cooke, of the 
Bishop Museum, occurs in Oregon, Washington and British 
Columbia, but is not known to be established in Hawan. It 
is probably Epigramorpha fidilis. 
Japanese earthquake.—Mr. Bryan read a letter from Dr. J. 
I. Hlingworth, dated October 24, 1923, written from Japan, 
describing the losses of his entomological equipment and _ col- 
lections owing to the recent earthquake and fire in Japan. 
Australian ants—Mr. Bryan exhibited some Australian ants 
received at the Bishop Museum from Prof. Dr. Yngre Sjostedt 
of the Naturhistoriska Riksmuseets, Stockholm. One hundred 
and four species are represented by 113 specimens, thirty-seven 
of which are cotypes. 
Tanager Expedition-—Mr. Bryan exhibited a collection of 
insects and photos taken by him while on the Tanager Expe- 
dition to Johnson and Wake Islands in July and August, 1923, 
and gave some interesting facts relative to the vegetation, 
topography and insect fauna of the islands.
