  Dr. 
  Perkins 
  also 
  exhibited 
  a 
  species 
  of 
  Eupelmus, 
  remarking 
  

   that 
  while 
  the 
  pronotum 
  in 
  the 
  females 
  of 
  the 
  Cronatopus 
  and 
  

   its 
  allies 
  is 
  freely 
  movable, 
  a 
  most 
  unusual 
  condition 
  in 
  

   Hymenoptera, 
  the 
  thorax 
  of 
  the 
  Eupelminse 
  is 
  still 
  more 
  

   remarkable, 
  the 
  suture 
  between 
  the 
  mesonotum 
  and 
  scutellum 
  

   allowing 
  of 
  movement. 
  Thus 
  while 
  the 
  thorax 
  behind 
  the 
  

   posterior 
  margin 
  of 
  the 
  mesonotum 
  is 
  in 
  one 
  position 
  at 
  about 
  

   right 
  angles 
  to 
  the 
  mesonotum 
  itself, 
  it 
  can 
  at 
  the 
  will 
  of 
  the 
  

   insect 
  be 
  so 
  straightened 
  out 
  that 
  the 
  mesonotum 
  and 
  parts 
  

   behind 
  it 
  are 
  in 
  the 
  same 
  horizontal 
  plane. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Kotinskj 
  then 
  read 
  a 
  note 
  on 
  "Hawaiian 
  species 
  of 
  

   Pseudococcus 
  allied 
  to 
  citri." 
  The 
  author 
  was 
  certain 
  that 
  

   the 
  Pseudococcus 
  on 
  pineapple, 
  sisal, 
  and 
  sour-sop 
  was 
  distinct 
  

   from 
  P. 
  citri 
  but 
  had 
  not 
  as 
  yet 
  discovered 
  taxonomic 
  characters 
  

   to 
  differentiate 
  them.

  The 
  twenty-seventh 
  regular 
  meeting 
  was 
  held 
  in 
  the 
  Library 
  

   of 
  the

  NOTES 
  AND 
  EXHIBITION 
  OF 
  SPECIMENS. 
  

  

  Dr. 
  Cobb 
  exhibited 
  a 
  linen 
  tester, 
  the 
  lower 
  lens 
  of 
  which 
  

   was 
  graduated 
  in 
  two 
  directions 
  to 
  ^ 
  and 
  \ 
  mm. 
  which 
  he 
  

   thought 
  should 
  facilitate 
  the 
  counting 
  of 
  punctures 
  and 
  other 
  

   structures 
  upon 
  a 
  given 
  area 
  of 
  an 
  insect. 
  He 
  also 
  exhibited 
  

   an 
  ordinary 
  pocket 
  lens 
  the 
  cover 
  of 
  which 
  was 
  so 
  perforated 
  

   that 
  a 
  dissecting 
  pin 
  penetrating 
  the 
  perforation 
  might 
  be 
  

   extended 
  below 
  to 
  the 
  i 
  focal 
  distance 
  and 
  center 
  of 
  the 
  lens, 
  

   thus 
  serving 
  as 
  an 
  aid 
  in 
  dissection. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Terry 
  exhibited 
  specimens 
  and 
  read 
  a 
  note 
  on 
  what 
  he 
  

   considered 
  was 
  accidental 
  parasitism, 
  viz. 
  : 
  Chalcis 
  ohscurata 
  

   bred 
  from 
  a 
  Tachinid 
  pupa 
  within 
  that 
  of 
  a 
  lepidopterous 
  

   pupa. 
  Dr. 
  Perkins 
  stated 
  that 
  judging 
  from 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  the
