During the discussion of Mr. Weiss’ paper it was moved by Dr. 
Headlee that it is the sense of this body that the federal quarantine be 
strengthened and that an absolute quarantine be placed on all plants 
-imported with soi! about the roots, except such as are introduced by the 
U. S. Department of Agriculture for experiment and those to be held 
in quarantine for a reasonable period. This motion was passed unani- 
mously and the Secretary instructed to notify the Federal Board of 
this action. Mr. Burgess reported that Christmas trees and greens to 
the extent of over forty-one carloads, containing 1200 to 1800 trees 
each, had been shipped from the quarantine area in New England, all 
of which had been inspected previous to shipment, and a considerable 
number of egg clusters of the “Gipsy Moth” had been found on these 
trees. All carload lots went from New Hampshire and Maine and had 
been shipped to many of the States of the Union, including Michigan, 
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Washington and Oregon, where already grows 
a plentiful supply of Christmas trees. It was the sense of the inspec- 
tors present that the Federal Quarantine should be replaced on Christ- 
inas greens, otherwise several of the States would absolutely quaran- 
tine the shipments of Christmas trees originating in the moth quaran- 
tine area.

Diptera.—Mr. Hornig said he had found many mosquito larvae 
in Cobbs Creek, Pennsylvania, all of which at the time he had consid- 
ered Culex pipiens Linn., but had bred from them some Aedes jamai- 
censis Theob. 
Lepidoptera.—The same speaker said he had found larvae of 
Henuleuca maa Dru. at Westville, New Jersey, in 1913, which pupated 
the same year. Some of these emerged in 1913 and two came out within 
the present week. Mr. Haimbach recorded Racheospila atripes Druce 
from Homestead, Florida, v-14-15, collected by Dr. Castle. The type 
was described from Panama and is in the Staudinger Collection. 
Coleoptera.w—Mr. Daecke said he had found many To-xotus 
trivittatus Say, which never varied until he caught one at Cove Mt., 
Pennsylvania, June 27, 1915, which he exhibited, and which has the prox- 
imal portion of the marginal stripes on the elytra missing; also exhib-
