formed another organization, the Harris Club . 2 In 1895, W. L. 
W. Field became a member of the Cambridge Club and soon 
after was elected secretary; he was also a member of the Harris 
Club and arranged the union of these two organizations and at 
the meeting of December 26, 1902, the entire Harris Club was 
nominated for membrship. 
March 13, 1903, at a meeting with three members present, 
Bowditch, Field and Hayward, 39 members of the Harris Club 
were elected. Many of these soon disappeared, but among them 
were a dozen active members for many years, some to the present 
day, — among them : 
P. G. Bolster 
H. K. Burrison 
W. D. Denton 
H. H. Kirkland 
W. F. Low 
John Lowell 
H. H. Newcomb 
J. H. Rogers 
A. C. Sampson 
F. Sheriff 
L. W. Swett 
A. G. Weeks 
December 26, 1902, S. Henshaw was elected editor of 
‘Tsyche.” 
Meetings were held at the house of the Boston Society of 
Natural History and the annual meeting of 1903 (adjourned 
since January) was held on April 10, with 18 members present. 
During this year C. W. Johnson and C. Y. Blackburn were 
elected members. A committee, Messrs. Bolster, Field, Hen- 
shaw and Johnson, was appointed to take charge of 'Tsyche.” 
Scudder’s sickness had gone so far that it was necessary to re- 
move the Club’s library from his house, and having no other 
place to keep the books, the Club voted to give to the Boston 
Society of Natural History any books it might need and to sell 
the rest. Some of these were sold by auction at Club meetings 
by H. H. Newcomb and the proceeds used toward the expenses 
of ‘‘Psyche.” Meetings were held at the Boston Society of 
Natural History, at J. H. Emerton’s room at 194 Clarendon 
St., and at the Appalachian Club’s rooms in the Tremont

Club of 1866) was organized November 24, 1899 at 35 Court St., Boston in 
the office of H. H. Newcomb. W. L. W. Field was elected secretary and 
continued in office until the union with the Cambridge Entomological Club 
in 1903. The records of the Club are deposited in the library of the Boston 
Society of Natural History.
