stops singing. On September i8 a female was discovered at 

 night laying eggs in the bark of a locust tree about one foot from 

 the ground. Among other insects of interest was a large female 

 Mantis pa brunnea Say, discovered by Mr. Engelhardt; also. Loma- 

 myia flavicornis Walker, which likewise belongs to the Neurop- 

 tera; the Lomamyia was also collected at Central Park, Long- 

 Island, August 12, 1913, and May 26, 1918. The large ox-beetle, 

 Strategus antaeus (Fabricius), occurs in the Penniquid Barrens; 

 and among tiger-beetles Cicindela rugifrons Dejean was the most 

 common species; no C. modesta Dejean nor C. consentanea De- 

 jean were observed. In a moist field at Coram, south of the 

 Barrens, four pink specimens of the fulgorid Acanalonia bivittata 

 Say were collected, all in a small area, while a quarter of a mile 

 away, in a similar situation, all that were seen were green in color. 

 Mr. Engelhardt exhibited some of the Lepidoptera obtained by 

 him at the Penniquid Barrens : Hemileuca niaia Drury, of which 

 the larvae in colonies are very common on Quercus nana from 

 May to June, the moth in October; Schinia obscurata Strecker 

 and 6". spinosae Guenee, both common in August and September 

 on Aster. The following were collected with bait : Chytonix sen- 

 silis Grote in July ; Mamestra rubefacta Morrison in June ; Oligia 

 minuscula Morrison in August ; Catocala amasea Smith and Ab- 

 bot, common in August ; Agrotis violaris Grote and Robinson in 

 September. Eucalyptera bipuncta Morrison and Eustrotia aeria 

 Grote were common in June and July at light. 



Meeting of April 14, 1921. — Long Island Records. — Mr. Schott 

 exhibited the following beetles recently taken by him : Donacia 

 edentata Schaefifer from Montauk Beach; D. rufescens Lacor- 

 daire from Wyandanch; Amerisus oblongulum Mannerheim and 

 Aphodius prodromus (Brahm) from Long Beach. Mr. Engel- 

 hardt reported upon a trip to the Penniquid Barrens at Coram, 

 Long Island, April 5 and 6, for the purpose of collecting spring 

 Noctuidae at light. The results were fairly good on the evening 

 of the 5th under moderately warm weather conditions. On the 

 evening of the 6th a heavy mist rolling in from the south shore, 

 as is usual, rendered insect life inactive. The following species
