LORQUINIA 
55 
Associate Members. The obvious necessity of limiting the number of 
members attending the regular meetings, where the Club business is 
transacted, will be apparent to all, because these meetings are held 
in the homes of members who have not the seating capacity to invite 
all, much though they would like to. 
Members may obtain invitations to regular meetings by applying 
to any Active Member or to the Membership Committee (Chairman, 
Mr. Hadley, Mr. Grinnell and Mr. Chace). Active Members, before 
issuing invitations to others, must obtain permission from the Mem- 
bership Committee first. 
The following have been accepted as Associate Members : Dr. 
Roy E. Dickerson, 114 Burnett Ave., San Francisco, CaHf . ; Dr. Sam- 
uel Stillman Berry, 745 W. Highland Ave., Redlands, Calif. 
HERE AND THERE 
On January 28, 1917, five Lorquin Club members, Beardsley, 
Richter, Ruthling, Grinnell and Town, walked up Mt. Lowe and 
through the snow on the sky-line connecting it with Mt. Wilson. 
From the summit of Mt. Wilson the party descended by way of the 
Little Santa Anita Canyon to Sierra Madre, where it visited another 
Club member, Luther Little, whose collections were inspected. 
At a meeting of the Santa Monica Biological Club on Friday 
evening, January 19, 1917, held at the home of Dr. Frank C. Clark, 
546 Wilshire Blvd., the Lorquin Natural History Club was repre- 
sented by Raoul M. May and F. Grinnell, Jr., who, on invitation of 
Dr. Clark, spoke briefly. The chief lecture of the evening was by 
N. D. Knupp, teacher in the local high school of Santa Monica. Mr. 
Knupp had for his subject, Reproduction in Plants. 
Mr. E. P. Chace and Dr. Henry collected mollusks and crabs on 
and near the Breakwater at San Pedro. The tide was very low at 
3 :18 P. M., so that good collecting ground was uncovered. Among 
the material taken were 1 Monia macroschisnia, 4 species of Crepi- 
dula, 10 species of Chitons, 2 species of Hipponyx and many others, 
among which were several specimens of Brachypods ( Terebratralia 
transversa) . Several specimens of Aphlysia calif ornica and two or 
three other small Nudibranchs wxre seen. Three species of crabs 
were taken.
