Mr. Edward L. Graef, in his very interesting article entitled 

 " Some Early Brooklyn Entomologists " published in the June 

 (1914) number of the Bulletin, refers to the plates of the 

 Sphingidse gotten out by J. C. Weidenmeyer, S. Calverley and W. 

 H. Edwards. Mr. Edwards owned fourteen copies of these 

 plates and in 1903 sold them to the American Entomological So- 

 ciety. There were 27 plates, each set illustrating 132 figures. 

 This Society thought them of sufficient importance to publish the 

 fourteen sets. They were edited by myself and all were sold, 

 excepting the one colored set, which was retained by the Society. 

 The history of the plates is given in the published work. The 

 American Museum of Natural History and Cornell University 

 also possess colored sets. The Brooklyn Institute of Arts and 

 Sciences owns 25 to 30 sets, two of which are colored. Henry 

 Skinner, M.D., Sc.D. 



The duplicate sets belonging to the Brookljm Institute have since been 

 offered for exchange with the other museums of the world. — Ed. 



A butterfly, Colias eiLrytheme, was observed July 15, 1914, 

 flying up Carroll Street, Brooklyn, and alighting in the grass. 

 The specimen was a female and perfectly fresh. It was noted 

 at the time that the flight of the creature was different from its 

 congener, C. philodice, the wing surface being larger, more fragile 

 and beating the air more slowly. Previous Long Island records 

 are few. 



*An account by Mr. Geddes of his own collecting is to be found in the 

 Bulletin, Vol. VIII., pp. 118 et seq.
