10 THE LEPIDOPTER IST 



sold for 32c., Cat. fraxini listed at 25c., sold for 65c. 

 While rarity is important it apparently does not count 

 so much as fine condition. 



At a recent meeting it was suggested that an in- 

 formal discussion on some subject of interest to Lepi- 

 dopterists take place each meeting immediately after 

 the regular business of the evening, the subject to be 

 announced in advance and some member appointed

 "General Methods in Collecting," Many interesting 

 points were brought out in regard to the effects of 

 temperature and atmospheric conditions. The next 

 subject will be "The Arrangement of a Collection."
