value and present excellent condition of the collections are the result of his faithful and disinterested work. Recently the department has been placed in charge of Mr. Samuel
Henshaw.
In a "partial catalogue" of the animals of Iowa published by the Iowa Agricultural
College, Prof. H. Osborn enumerates 183
species of Ichneumonidae, Cynipidae and
Tenthredinidae, 80 butterflies, 357 moths and 1255 Coleoptera.
Some interesting observations on the habits of the young of mole-crickets are given by Dr. E. W, Doran in Science for Oct. 14.
Amongother things he finds that previous to their first moult they can jump to the distance of five or six inches.
The notes and figures of Myriapoda left by the late A. Humbert are to be published
shortly by the Soci6t6 de physique et d'his- toire naturelle of Geneva under the super- vision of Dr. H. de Saussure. The text is rather meagre but the figures are valuable and finely executed.
PROCEEDINGS OF SOCIETIES.
CAMBRIDGE ENTOMOLOGICAL CLUB.
14 October, 1892. -The 172d meeting was
held at 156 Brattle Street.
Mr. S. H. Scud-
der was chosen chairman and Mr. A. P.
Morse secretary pro tern.
Mr. S. H. Scudder reported the capture of Anthomaster leonardus near Gardiner, Me., further east than it was before known; the female was seen laying eggs Aug. 29th on Agrostis seabra; these hatched in about 20 days, but the larvae refused ordinary grasses, and as they were as plump when a month
old as when born, it seemed probable that their habit was to hibernate without first feeding.
Mr. S. Henshaw reported Callidryas
eubule as not uncommon this year on Nan- tucket in the latter part of September.
