  a 
  row 
  of 
  about 
  eight 
  or 
  nine 
  lining 
  the 
  road 
  to 
  Tantalus. 
  Mr. 
  

   Perkins 
  suggested 
  that 
  such 
  a 
  collection 
  upon 
  one 
  tree 
  is 
  a 
  com- 
  

   mon 
  phenomenon 
  in 
  insect 
  life 
  when 
  there 
  is 
  some 
  attraction 
  

   either 
  in 
  the 
  form 
  of 
  food 
  or 
  odor. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Terry 
  exhibited 
  a 
  living 
  male 
  and 
  female 
  of 
  Callincda 
  tcstu- 
  

   dinaria 
  which 
  came 
  here 
  from 
  Australia 
  on 
  December 
  13th. 
  The 
  

   female 
  began 
  to 
  lay 
  eggs 
  on 
  the 
  15th, 
  and 
  has 
  since 
  deposited 
  32 
  

   batches, 
  comprising 
  897 
  eggs. 
  She 
  apparently 
  is 
  still 
  capable 
  of 
  

   laying 
  a 
  good 
  many 
  more.

  Papers. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  KoTiNSKY 
  read 
  the 
  whole 
  of 
  his 
  paper 
  on 
  "The 
  History 
  

   of 
  Economic 
  Entomology 
  in 
  Hazmii." 
  In 
  the 
  discussion 
  that 
  fol- 
  

   lowed, 
  Mr. 
  Kirkaldy's 
  objection 
  to 
  the 
  statement 
  that 
  native 
  vege- 
  

   tation 
  has 
  been 
  driven 
  to 
  any 
  large 
  extent 
  into 
  the 
  mountains 
  

   by 
  the 
  introduced 
  flora 
  was 
  met 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Austin 
  with 
  the 
  assertion 
  

   that 
  to 
  his 
  knowledge 
  the 
  native 
  trees 
  came 
  down 
  to 
  water 
  level 
  

   in 
  wet 
  places. 
  "Kou" 
  (Cordia 
  subcordata 
  Lam.), 
  for 
  example, 
  is 
  

   occasionally 
  found 
  on 
  low 
  levels. 
  Mr. 
  x\ustin 
  also 
  believed 
  that 
  

   guava 
  was 
  introduced 
  into 
  the 
  islands 
  about 
  1830. 
  Mr. 
  Kirkaldy 
  

   said 
  that 
  Lycacna 
  blackburni, 
  a 
  questionably 
  native 
  butterfly, 
  is 
  

   occasionally 
  found 
  as 
  low 
  as 
  Punchbowl, 
  and 
  Mr. 
  Terry 
  stated 
  that 
  

   Vanessa 
  tanieamea 
  is 
  also 
  at 
  times 
  found 
  in 
  town. 
  

  

  Exhibitions 
  and 
  Notes. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Terry 
  stated 
  that 
  the 
  Callineda 
  testudinaria, 
  mentioned 
  at 
  

   the 
  last 
  meeting, 
  had 
  raised 
  her 
  egg-record 
  to 
  944; 
  altogether 
  

   there 
  were 
  35 
  batches, 
  the 
  first 
  being 
  laid 
  on 
  December 
  13th, 
  the 
  

   last 
  on 
  February 
  14th. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Terry 
  also 
  exhibited 
  a 
  representative 
  collection 
  of 
  Hawaiian 
  

   butterflies, 
  ten 
  species 
  in 
  all. 
  Pyrameis 
  tameamea 
  is 
  the 
  native 
  

   species 
  and 
  one 
  other, 
  Lycaena< 
  blackburni, 
  doubtfully 
  so 
  ; 
  all 
  the 
  

   rest 
  being 
  introduced. 
  This 
  was 
  supplemented 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Kotinsky's
