  Papers. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Kotinsky 
  read 
  a 
  part 
  of 
  his 
  "History 
  of 
  Economic 
  Ento- 
  

   mrology 
  in 
  Hawaii/' 
  the 
  whole 
  of 
  which 
  will 
  be 
  published 
  else- 
  

   where. 
  In 
  the 
  course 
  of 
  the 
  subsequent 
  discussion, 
  Mr. 
  Perkins 
  

   stated 
  that 
  Sphenophorus 
  obscurus 
  was 
  known 
  upon 
  these 
  islands 
  

   about 
  1865, 
  and 
  was 
  injurious 
  at 
  about 
  that 
  period. 
  This 
  did 
  not 
  

   necessarily 
  imply 
  that 
  it 
  was 
  brought 
  here 
  then, 
  because 
  since 
  it 
  

   occurs 
  in 
  papaias, 
  cocoanuts 
  and 
  royal 
  palms, 
  besides 
  sugar 
  cane, 
  

   it 
  might 
  have 
  been 
  introduced 
  with 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  plants 
  brought 
  

   here 
  many 
  years 
  previously. 
  He 
  also 
  stated 
  that 
  Coccinella 
  ab- 
  

   dominalis 
  was 
  affected 
  by 
  the 
  Braconid 
  parasite 
  Centistes 
  ameri- 
  

   cana 
  Riley, 
  which 
  is 
  so 
  destructive 
  to 
  Coccinella 
  repanda, 
  before 
  

   the 
  latter 
  was 
  brought 
  by 
  Koebele 
  to 
  the 
  Islands. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  R. 
  C. 
  L. 
  Perkins 
  submitted 
  ''Entomological 
  and 
  Other 
  

   Notes 
  on 
  a 
  Trip 
  to 
  Australia," 
  and 
  subsequently 
  presented 
  the 
  fol- 
  

   lowing 
  summary 
  for 
  publication 
  : 
  

  

  "Sydney 
  was 
  reached 
  by 
  Koebele 
  and 
  myself 
  in 
  May, 
  and 
  found 
  

   cold. 
  An 
  orange 
  orchard 
  in 
  Parramatta 
  was 
  scoured 
  for 
  lady- 
  

   birds, 
  and 
  the 
  first 
  consignment 
  was 
  sent 
  from 
  those 
  collected 
  

   there. 
  There 
  was 
  no 
  sugar 
  cane, 
  but 
  there 
  were 
  many 
  leaf-hoppers
