Professor Bache submitted to the Society, certain charts of 

 the progress of the survey under his superintendence. 



Dr. F. Bache reported the decease of Mr. James Ross, of 

 Pittsburg, a member of this Society, who died on the 27th of 

 November, 1S47. 



The Treasurer presented to the Society his annual report on 

 the state of its funds. 



The Committee of Publication made their annual report. 



Pending nominations, from No. 197 to 202, were read. 



The following communication was received by the Secretary 

 previous to the meeting, but accidentally omitted; which being 

 represented to the Society, they, by resolution of January, 1848, 

 directed the paper to be inserted in the proceedings of the 

 meeting at which it should have been read. 



Corrections and Additions to his paper on the Longicornia of the 

 United States, by S. S. Haldeman. 



Since the year 1844, in which the greater portion of the former 

 paper was prepared, a number of doubtful points have been solved, 

 species detected, and errors discovered, which it was not practicable 

 to insert during the publication, but which are now presented that 

 they may bear the date of the original article, at least as far as the 

 year is concerned. The original numbers are employed, and con- 

 tinued after 284, for the additional species cited. 



2, 6. Orthosoma cilipes Say, is a Mallodon, of which M. simplici- 

 coUe is a synonym. Cab. Le Conte. 



17. For solitarius read solitarium. 



21. Cerasphorus quadrispinosus = rusticus F.2, 311. Oliv. 69 

 tab. 2.16, the locality of Fabr. being incorrect. Chion Neion., takes 

 precedence of Cerasphorus. 



22. Enaphalodes leconlei \. Dej. is correctly referred. The genus 

 scarcely differs from Elaphidion. The inverted mark \. is used to 

 indicate an uncharacterised name, and ij: (See No. 85) to signify in 

 error. Both are to be placed between the name and the authority, 

 thus separating what do not properly belong together. With these, 

 two vertical lines may indicate a name improperly employed for the 

 second time, as Heteroscelis || Dupont, which is Campylocnemis 

 Ww., there being another genus previously named Heteroscelis. 

 See No. 319. 



25. For Elaphidion aspersum, read incertum Nm.
