Cotton Worm which is an occasional visitor far to the North of its 
usual range. The past year this insect occurred in extremely 
large numbers in the State as far north as Lake Erie. It is unable 
to winter even in the northern part of the cotton belt and is believed 
to fly northward in fall. The adults have been reported as 
puncturing the fruit of the peach. 
Prof. Griggs reported finding Lycopodium clavatum near Rock- 
bridge in Hocking Co. This plant has been reported only once 
before for Ohio, and the present report extends its known range 
about 100 miles. 
Mr. Bentley Fulton spoke of a large colony of the Cicada-killer 
which he observed in the Hocking county region. Mr. Schadle 
also collected in Hocking county. Mr. Lyonel King spoke of the 
condition of forest near Lake of Bays, in northern Canada. 
Although distant from a railroad this region is well settled and very 
little virgin forest remains. Many of the trees are similar to those 
in Ohio. Mr. Kostir spent the summer in Hocking county, and 
spoke of the interesting topography of the region. Miss Sweatman 
devoted some time to the study of bird’s nesting habits on Cedar 
Point and found that the natural materials at hand were largely 
used. Miss McAvoy told of finding the mocking bird in large 
numbers in Hamilton county, where they nest. Mr. Brown gave 
an interesting report of an experiment in landscape gardening. 
Prof. Dachnowski spent a part of the time in the Geological 
Survey and the latter part of the summer in Europe.
