ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES, PHILADELPHIA. 



PROCEEDINGS OF MEETINGS. 



September 19, 1893. 

 A regular stated meeting of the Entomological Section of the Academy 

 •of Natural Sciences was held in the Hall, S. W. cor. Nineteenth and Race 

 Streets this evening, Dr. G. H. Horn, Director, presiding. Members 

 present: G. B. Cresson, Ridings, Skinner, Calvert, Johnson and Liebeck. 

 Associates: Fox, Boerner, Westcott, Drs. Griffith and Castle. Mr. Cal- 

 vert presented to the American Entomological Society some American 

 and European Odonata, among them were specimens of Lestes eurinus 

 from Texas, a species which Mr. Scudder states was only known by a 

 unique specimen, but the speaker had received it in some numbers from 

 several localities, including Massachusetts. Another interesting species 

 was Sympycna fusca, the only Odonat known to hibernate. Mr. Calvert 

 also referred to the matter of the reduction of postal rates for insects. Dr. 

 Horn stated that he hoped to exhibit, during the Winter, some Coleop- 

 tera from the peninsula of Lower California, on which he was working, 

 and which belonged to the California Academy of Sciences. The collec- 

 tion does not contain as many new species as one might naturally suppose. 

 The peninsula, though geographically a part of Mexico, belongs properly 

 to the fauna of Southern California and Arizona, and is not tropical in 

 •character. A certain number of species extend all the way from the end
