RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS. 



9^i 



one proved to be Limnetis gouldil Baird, <J and 5 — the 

 former more abundantly represented than in its eastern habitat. 

 The smaller one I have temporarily identified as Cirrodaphlina 

 angulata Say. It agrees entirely with Say's description, but 

 that is too incomplete. Say's locality was "swamps of the 

 Southern States," and we cannot fix his species with certainty 

 until collections from the South are studied. 



Mr. J. Gr Haupt reported two additions to the flora of Scott 

 county, as follows : 



Silene antirrhina L. Sandy soil near VValcott. May 2Sth. 

 Lithospernium officinale L. Rare in open woods near Yalley City. 

 May 13th. 



Mr. J. D. Putnam reported that the females of Leccmium

 and as soon as this is completed would present a paper on the 

 subject.
