20 PSYCHE [February 



Mr. Field made a few statements in regard to the standing of Psyche, and said 

 that there had been an increase in subscribers. 



The address of the retiring President, Mr. C. W. Johnson, on Importance of 

 Local Ecological Studies in Entomology, was then delivered. 



Mr. Newcomb exhibited four boxes of Lepidoptera from western and south- 

 western United States. 



Mr. Sherriff brought in a specimen of Hepialus, probably argenteomaculatus, 

 which was taken on the piazza of a hotel at Fabyans, N. H. He reported that eight 

 or ten more were present, but lack of cyanide jars prevented capture. 



Mr. Morse exhibited several species of Hemiptera considered rare for Massa- 

 chusetts. One of the species was Nepa apiculata which has also been taken several 

 times at Framingham by C. A. Frost. 



Mr. Field spoke of the meeting of the Association for the Advancement of Science 

 in Boston next winter and suggested that the matter of delaying our annual exhibi- 

 tion until that time and the preparations for such an exhibition be discussed at the 

 next meeting. It was so voted by the Club. 



Meeting adjourned at the usual time. 



C. A. Frost, 



Secretary,
