LORQUINIA ^ 
In conclusion let me advise any readers of these notes who might 
be planning a trip into the Tuolumne region to arm themselves with 
a collecting permit so as to avoid the experience I had of being "held 
up" by a ranger who to my surprise asked to see my permit for col- 
lecting butterflies. Before the permission was given me by verbal 
message from the Superintendent of the Yosemite National Park with 
the extraordinary proviso that no rare specimens were ever to be 
taken, it required some ingenuity on my part dodging rangers while 
out collecting. 
Mr. Hal Newcomb of Pasadena has been exhibiting in the Los 
Angeles Public Library, a beautiful collection of rare butterflies from 
foreign lands, which has been the object of great interest to all those 
who have been on the seventh floor of the library recently. Included 
in this wonderful collection are found such rare species as Morpho 
thiosa from Central America and Papilio homerus which is to be 
found only in Jamaica and the island of Haiti. This is the only example 
of Papilio homerus in the West and is probably the most perfect speci- 
men in existence. For brilliant coloration, Urania Ripheus from 
Madagascar, possibly excels any other insect in the world. 
There have been many additions to our Club Library recently 
among which may well be noted the following: 
The Aviator and the Weather Bureau. 
The Climate and Weather of San Diego. 
These two volumes by Mr. Ford A. Carpenter, meteorologist, were 
presented to the Club Library by the author and are worthy of special 
mention. Our somewhat distant m.ember, in miles but not in spirit, 
Mr. Forclyce Grinnell, Jr. who is now located in Honolulu, Hawaii, 
favored the Club with a number of Hawaiian magazines which contain 
many excellent articles of general interest. 
Space will not permit further remarks in this connection or ref- 
erence to our regular publications being received daily but the librarian 
wishes to remind the members of the excellent material now available 
in our library for study. The library will continue to be housed at 
the residence of Percival Chase, 2631 Kenwood Ave., Los Angeles, 
until our new quarters in the Southwest Museum Building are made 
ready for occupancy. 
In view of building up our collection of photographs, a standing 
offer has been presented to the Club members by Percival Chase, to
