346 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [July, ’o8 
The April meeting of the Heink Entomological Club of St. 
Louis, Mo., took place at the residence of Mr. Paul Schroers 
on the 24th of the month, Mr. Heink in the chair. 
Mr. Schroers exhibited a large number of parts of Dr. 
Seitz’s great work “The Butterflies of the World,” which were 
inspected with more than usual interest. This work should 
enjoy an ever-increasing sale among all lovers of Lepidoptera. 
The color plates are executed with artistic excellence and 
true to life, while the descriptive matter is highly entertaining 
and instructive. Mr. Schroers has generously decided to con- 
tribute a copy of this work to the Club’s library. Mr. Poepping 
exhibited several well prepared life histories of Pyrameis and 
Grapta. Mr. Kelbly reported that he had last season found 
larvae of 7. Polyphemus on a wild plum tree. 
The May meeting of the Heink Entomological Club of St. 
Louis, Mo., occurred at the residence of Mr. Geo. Graf on the 
2ist, Mr. Heink presiding. 
Mr. Heink introduced the subject of a field day. It was 
decided to hold the same on May 31st, at Creve Coeur Lake, 
Mo., 23 miles from St. Louis. This is a resort of great nat- 
ural beauty, comprising a lake, bordered on one side by very 
high wooded bluffs, while on the opposite shore woodland and 
meadow contrive to offer the naturalist a variety of opportuni- 
ties. 
Colleague’ Mr. Geo, Akerlind of Chicago described this lo- 
eality at some length in the March, 1907, number of the ENTo- 
MOLOGICAL NEwSs. 
Mr. Knetzger exhibited a pair of Pamphila delaware, taken 
last July at Falling Springs, Ill., five miles east of St. Louis. 
P. delaware should be added to the “List of Butterflies of St. 
Louis and vicinity” in which it was not mentioned. A dis- 
cussion followed concerning the reason why P. delaware, found 
abundantly at Falling Springs, has never yet, to our knowl- 
edge, been seen on the west side of the Mississippi, notwith- 
standing the fact, that topography and flora here are in many 
places identical with those of Falling Springs, notably so at 
Creve Coeur Lake, Meramec Highlands and the cliffs south 
of the city.
