Mr. H. W. Wenzel exhibited Allorhina mutabilis Gory 

 (Col.) ; four from Florence, Ariz., and five from Davis Mts., 

 Tex., only one of the latter having the elytra nearly covered 

 with the green coloring as in those from Arizona. The Texas

Dr. Skinner remarked on the new building, and said it 

 was very different from the time when he attended college 

 here thirty years ago, as then there were few buildings, and 

 only two men he knew of at that time interested in Entomol- 

 ogy, Drs. Joseph Leidy and Harrison Allen. He spoke of 

 the ignorance of physicians in relation to Entomology and 

 cited cases. He described the manner devised by E. T. Cres-
