shape, flattened, tip rather obtuse, longer than the upper valves but on account of their position the tips not reaching beyond the middle of the latter.

The size, general appearance, the length of the segments of the palpi and other things seem to show close relation to the brevipalpi group but the structure of the hypopygina leads me to place the species in the genus Tipula for the present at least.

20 PSYCHE [February
Mr. Field made a few statements in regard to the standing of Psyche, and said that there had been an increase in subscribers. The address of the retiring President, Mr. C. W. Johnson, on Importance of Local Ecological Studies in Entomology, was then delivered. Mr. Newcomb exhibited four boxes of Lepidoptera from western and south- western United States.
Mr. Sherriff brought in a specimen of Hepialus, probably argenteornaculatus, which was taken on the piazza of a hotel at Fabyans, N. H. He reported that eight
or ten more were present, but lack of cyanide jars prevented capture. Mr. Morse exhibited several species of Hemiptera considered rare for Massa- chusetts.
One of the species was Nepa apiculata which has also been taken several times at Framingham by C. A. Frost.
Mr. Field spoke of the meeting of the Association for the Advancement of Science in Boston next winter and suggested that the matter of delaying our annual exhibi- tion until that time and the preparations for such an exhibition be discussed at the next meeting. It was so voted by the Club. Meeting adjourned at the usual time.
