Suggestion 2. It is desirable in describing new genera 

 and species that their taxonomic relationship be discussed, and 

 that distinguishing characters be pointed out. 



Suggestion 3. In all cases in the serial treatment of 

 genera or species and where first nsed in general articles the 

 authority for the species or genus should be given, and the 

 name of the authority should not be abbreviated. 



Suggestion 4. Where the title of any publication referred 

 to is not written in full, standard abbreviations should be used. 



Suggestion 5. ^Mien a species discussed has been deter- 

 mined by someone other than the author it is important that 

 reference be made to the worker making the identification.

Thecla ecli'wn. — Mr. Williams recorded the rearing of this 

 butterfly from larvae feeding on pods and seeds of Cordia sehes- 

 tena. The larvae pupated June 21, and the adults appeared 

 July 5. 



Nesophryne sp. — Mr. Swezey exhibited specimens of this 

 large Jassid captured on the ridge known as Malamalama on 

 the windward side of Mt. Konahuanui. He and Messrs. Brid- 

 well and Timberlake collected 13 adults off Clermontia hake- 

 ana and 1 off Byronia. The known species of this genus occur 

 only on Kauai. These are the first found on Oahu, and 

 probably constitute two new species. 



Bomhycid cocoons. — Mr. Ehrhorn exhibited some very re- 

 markable cocoons, probably of species of Cecropia — one from 

 Bolivia and one from Japan. 



Termites from yams. — Mr. Ehrhorn exhibited specimens of 

 termites taken in a shipment of yams in his quarantine inspec- 

 tion work.
