BULLETIN OF THE NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY 
many copies of the bulletin are distributed and 'this Society has 
no record of where they go. I wish to express my appreciation 
of the valuable assistance rendered by the Assistant Librarian, 
Miss Hoyt, in the work of the library during the past year.

Field Meetings. 
Three very pleasant Field Meetings were held during the past 
season, one at the Summer Camp of Mr. J. W. Banks, near the 
shore of Dark Lake, whence aj visit was paid to Oliver’s Cave *n 
the vicinity; a second to Ingleside on the 5th of August; and a 
third to the summer camp of Messrs. A. G. Leavitt and Wm. 
McIntosh — Camp Nature, — 'above Nerepis Station on the 26th of 
August. 
These meetings gave the large number of members who at- 
tended them a very pleasant outing and opportunities for social 
intercourse and visiting and gaining information about the inter- 
esting localities visited. Talks on the natural history features of 
each neighborhood — geology, botany, birds, and insects, — were 
given by the various leaders of the sections, and all the members 
felt that the time was well spent and voted the Field Meetings a 
great success. 
G. U. Hay, Chairman. 
Entomology. 
Your committee begs to report that Messrs. McIntosh and 
Leavitt have devoted nearly all their spare time to collecting dur- 
ing the past year. 
Insect collecting has been carried on unremittingly during the 
past seven years, resulting in the accumulation of a very large 
number of specimens and a vast amount of valuable data, with 
the result that henceforth we will be able to speak with some 
degree of certainty regarding the insect life of this section. 
A number of species new to science have been discovered. A 
list of these will be published at an early data. A number of wall- 
cases have been prepared ; in these are shown all the more com- 
mon insects of St. John and Kings Counties, and the common
