in a row of about eight or nine lining the road to Tantalus. Mr. 

 Perkins suggested that such a collection upon one tree is a com- 

 mon phenomenon in insect life when there is some attraction 

 either in the form of food or odor. 



Mr. Terry exhibited a living male and female of Callineda tcsiu- 

 dinaria which came here from Australia on December 13th. The 

 female began to lay eggs on the 15th, and has since deposited 32 

 batches, comprising 897 eggs. She apparently is still capable of 

 laying a good many more. 



MARCH 9th, 1905. 



The third regular meeting was held at the usual place, Mr. 

 Craw, Vice-President, in the chair. 



Members elected — Miss Melika Peterson, Dr. N. A. Cobb and 

 Mr. Gerrit P. Wilder. 



Papers. 



Mr. KoTiNSKY read the whole of his paper on "The History 

 of Economic Entomology in Hazvaii." In the discussion that fol- 

 lowed, Mr. Kirkaldy's objection to the statement that native vege- 

 tation has been driven to any large extent into the mountains 

 by the introduced flora was met by Mr. Austin with the assertion 

 that to his knowledge the native trees came down to water level 

 in wet places. "Kou" {Cordia subcordata Lam.), for example, is 

 occasionally found on low levels. Mr. Austin also believed that 

 guava was introduced into the islands about 1830. Mr. Kirkaldy 

 said that Lycaena blackburni, a questionably native butterfly, is 

 occasionally found as low as Punchbowl, and Mr. Terry stated that 

 Vanessa tameamea is also at times found in town. 



Exhibitions and Notes. 



Mr. Terry stated that the Callineda testudinm'i-a, mentioned at 

 the last meeting, had raised her egg-record to 944; altogether 

 there were 35 batches, the first being laid on December 13th, the 

 last on February 14th. 



Mr. Terry also exhibited a representative collection of Hawaiian 

 butterflies, ten species in all. Pyrameis tameamea is the native 

 species and one other, Lycaena blackburni, doubtfully so ; all the 

 rest being introduced. This was supplemented by Mr. Kotinsky's
