100 Bulletin of the Brooklyn Entomological Society voi. viii 



Proceedings of The Brooklyn Entomological Society. 



The regular monthly meeting of the Brooklyn Entomological Society 

 was held at 55 Stuyvesant Ave., Brooklyn, May 15, with sixteen members 

 present. 



It was voted that the Bulletin volumes should begin with the calendar 

 year. Accordingly the present volume 8 is to consist of eight numbers. In 

 this way bills for annual dues shall accord with annual subscriptions at the 

 rate of 20 cents a number. 



The Publication Committee reported that the support to the Bulletin 

 to date was all that could be reasonably expected, that contributions on hand 

 insured high class material only, and sufficient for the next three numbers. 



Mr. F. C. Pasch was appointed to the Outing Committee, vice Mr. Olsen, 

 resigned on account of the pressure of Society work. 



Messrs. Chas. Schaeffer and J. R. de la Torre-Bueno were elected a 

 Committee to represent the Society in the American National Committee on 

 Nomenclature, a part of the International Committee which is to report to 

 the next International Entomological Congress. 



Mr. Franck showed an aberrant Eudamus bathyllus, taken in Prospect 

 Park, in which the characteristic white markings of the primaries were reduced 

 to barely visible spots. 



Mr. Torre-Bueno read a paper on the Adaptation of the Aquatic Hemip- 

 tera to their Environment, which will be printed later. 



Mr. Dow spoke briefly on the joy of sifting for beetles, as exemplified 

 by an expedition to Kerlilworth Swamp, N. J.

Secretary.
