PSYCHE. 



[December 1S92. 



value and present excellent condition of the 

 collections are the result of his faithful and 

 disinterested work. Recently the department 

 has been placed in charge of Mr. Samuel 

 Henshaw. 



In a "partial catalogue" of the animals of 

 Iowa published by the Iowa Agricultural 

 College, Prof. H. Osborn enumerates 183 

 species of Ichneumonidae, Cynipidae and 

 Tenthredinidae, 80 butterflies, 357 moths and 

 1255 Coleoptera. 



Some interesting observations on the habits 

 of the young of mole-crickets are given by 

 Dr. E. W. Doran in Science for Oct. 14. 

 Among other things he finds that previous 

 to their first moult they can jump to the 

 distance of five or six inches. 



The notes and figures of Myriapoda left by 

 the late A. Humbert are to be published 

 shortly by the Societe de physique et d'his- 

 toire naturelle of Geneva under the super- 

 vision of Dr. H. de Saussure. The text is 



rather meagre but the figures are valuable 

 and finely executed. 



PROCEEDINGS OF SOCIETIES. 



CAMBRIDGE ENTOMOLOGICAL CLUB. 



14 October, 1892. — The i72d meeting was 

 held at 156 Brattle Street. Mr. S. H. Scud- 

 der was chosen chairman and Mr. A. P. 

 Morse secretary pro tern. 



Mr. S. H. Scudder reported the capture of 

 Anthomaster leonardus near Gardiner, Me., 

 further east than it was before known ; the 

 female was seen laying eggs Aug. 29th on 

 Agrostis scabra; these hatched in about 20 

 days, but the larvae refused ordinary grasses, 

 and as they were as plump when a month 

 old as when born, it seemed probable that 

 their habit was to hibernate without first 

 feeding. 



Mr. S. Henshaw reported Callidryas 

 eubule as not uncommon this year on Nan- 

 tucket in the latter part of September.
