a three days' "Kona" storm. The species was apparently the

 sea between Maui and Kahoolawe, October, 1913, and by Mr. 

 C. M. Cooke from the surface of the sea near Palmyra, July,

 of Oahu. 



Mr. Swezey exhibited an insect box made from a cigar box

 this method of lining insect boxes were pointed out and discussed

 he had learned that this method was being used at the British 

 Museum.
