were unfurled and apparatus gotten out, and after general greetings and 

 handshakes the diflferent individuals scattered in every direction in search 

 of insects. At half past twelve all had assembled for luncheon and a 

 general social meeting was held. After luncheon pictures were taken by 

 Dr. Skinner of the whole party, and also the representatives of the dif- 

 ferent cities participating. IProf. Smith was industriously in search of 

 snap kodak shots, and says he secured some very funny and interesting 

 pictures. The afternoon was spent as each individual wished to spend it. 



The collecting was fairly good, and as usual Lepidoptera and Coleop- 

 tera were the orders receiving most attention. Among the butterflies of 

 interest were Satyrus var. maritima, Thecla tittis, Neonyvipha canthus, 

 Pamphila tnassasoit, P. pontiac, Argynnis idalia, etc. A few good things 

 were taken among the Coleoptera. After a very pleasant day the party 

 returned to the station to take their respective trains for home. Among 

 those who attended were the following: From New York, Brooklyn, 

 Newark and the upper part of Jersey — Prof. John B. Smith, Jacob Doll, 

 George Stortz, Edwin Bischoff, C. P. Machesney, Wm. Beutenmiiller, 

 Chas. Derleth, Jr., Herman A. Loos, August Miller, Frank Rabe, Lewis 

 T. Muench, Francis Fillion, Raymond Ditmars. Pierce Morange, Dr. 

 Ottolengui. From Philadelphia and vicinity: Dr. S. M. Castle, Edward 

 Wenzel, A. Trescher, C. Boerner, T. Schmitz, Henry Wenzel, H. Wenzel, 

 Jr., C. Liebeck, Wm. J. Fox, Chas. W. Johnson, Philip Nell, Frank M. 

 Jones, Dr. H. Skinner, Albert Hoyer, Frank Hoyer, Philip Laurent. 



The members of the Feldman Collecting Social, of Philadelphia, wore 

 appropriate club buttons. It is to be hoped that many more of these 

 meetings will be held, and that in the future they may be even more 

 largely attended.

HAMPSON'S MOTHS OF INDIA. 



BY HARRISON G. DYAR. 



This work deserves more than the brief notice given to it a year ago in 

 the News (vol. iv, p. 130). 



Though dealing with the fauna of an antipodean country, the work is 

 of much interest to American entomologists. This is due to the valuable
