Mr. Howard contributed an important paper on ‘‘Hymenopterous Parasites of 
Spiders,” being a complete revision of our knowledge of these interesting insects, 
both European and American. Lists and breeding notes were given and specimens 
exhibited. He also called attention to the habits of Mantispa and some Acroceride, ’ 
which in Europe are known to be parasitic on spiders. Discussed by Messrs. Ash- 
mead, Marlatt, Test, Schwarz, Fox, and Marx. 
Dr. Stiles made a few remarks on various Nematode genera parasitic on spiders. 
Dr. Marx read a few additions to his paper on ticks. 
Prof. H. E. Summers was invited to speak, and he made some instructive remarks 
on collecting and labelling.
