THE NOVEMBER EXHIBITION.
A public exhibition of insects was held by the Cambridge EntomoSogical club on November 16. 1 7, 18 and 19, in the rooms of the Appalachian Mountain Club on the tenth floor of the Tremont Building. The number of visitors, esti- mated at 350. gave evidence of a growing interest in entomology among the people of Boston and its vici~ity. Collections were shown illustrating Variation, Protective Co1orati.o~ Hybridity and other phenomena of insect life. Only a brief mention of each exhibit can be made here. Mr. W. D. Denton entered a fine display of lepidoptera mounted in tablets. Mr. C. V. Blackburn's remarbbk ~Hection of moths obtained about two electric lights in the city of Woburn, in a single season, attracted much attention. Miss SouIe's hybrid lepi- doptera and Mr. F. H. Foster's bred series of Haploas were-extremely interesting. Mr. IV. F. Low's exhibit was one of the most extensive shown, and embraced, in addition to a fine series of hybrid moths, some remarkable aberrant examples of ceeroflia and promethen. Mr. Johnson showed a fine collection of Hymenoptem with Dipterous mimics. Mr. Hayward's exhibit was a carefully-prepared synoptic collection of the families of Coleoptera, with explanato~ labels. Mr. A. C. Sampson's display included the five-winged secropia figured in the December Psyche, and a collection of moths showing conspicuous individual variation. Mr. Field enkred a number of small groups of lepidoptera arranged to show the phenomena of individual variation, sexual dimorphism, etc. Mr. J. H. Rogers, Jr., had a fine exhibit which included a number of abnormal specimens of tepi- doptera. Messrs. \V. R. and J. D. Pearmain showed a large number of specimens in tablet%
Mr. Sewcomb's c~ntri~utiofl irtchded a series of unusual Basil-
archias, a series of Ocwir katahdhi with specimens of srmiiiea and jzttta for com- parison, and some interesting aberrant forms of different species. Mr. A. P. Hall showed some of his beautiful pnotogrvhic prints of bleached wings. Altogether the affair was a great success, though it is unfortunate that there should be such an overwhelming preponderance of lepidoptera in the exhibits. It is hoped that the present year may be marked by a larger and better exhibi- ton, which shall fairly represent the activity of New England entomologists.
