specimens of Calobata geomctra Desv. (Dip.) collected by him- 

 self at Eberlys Mill, Pa., July 12, 1910, and July 14, 1910. 

 This latter species was first turned up in Pennsylvania by Mr. 

 Champlain. It is a Texas species and is gradually working 

 its way north. Mr. Daecke also said he was in the vicinity of 

 the place where he had found Lema sexpunctata Oliv. (Col.) 

 on the Virginia day flower last year, and upon examining 

 them found the same species this year. 



Mr. Laurent described a yard in Wildwood Crest which con- 

 tains several flower beds and covers about half an acre. He 

 said that on October 6th, this year, this bed contained about 

 5000 specimens of Danais plex'xppus Linn. (Lep.) evidently 

 gathering to migrate, because when he visited the same place 

 next day none were to be found. 



There then followed a general discussion by all present on 

 the common house fly. 



Mr. C. T. Greene exhibited and recorded the following Dip- 

 tera collected by himself: Phortica albognttata Wahlberg, 

 from Lehigh Gap, July 12, 1006, a European species which 

 Osten Sacken's Catalog says occurs in N. A. on authority of 

 "Loew in litt" ; Phorcmtha calyptrata Coq. Castle Rock. Pa., 

 September 26, 1909, listed from District of Columbia. Virgin- 

 ia and Kentucky; Alophora nitida Coq., Pemberton, N. J., 

 July 11, 1909, listed from Potomac Creek, Virginia and Can- 

 ada. 



Dr. Skinner said he had been elected president of the sec- 

 tion on Nomenclature at the Entomological Congress, in which 

 all the discussions were in English, German. Erench and Span- 

 ish. He said it was the practice in many parts of Europe to 

 label all the specimens which are under the eve at the time of 

 description "type," but after much arsfument, pro and con, it 

 was finally decided upon that a rule be passed to have only a 

 single type. Adjourned to the annex. 



Geo. M. Greene, Secretary.
