AN UNNOTICED PAPER BY WILLIAM HENRY EDWARDS
Andrew Grey Weeks, Jr., published a list of the scientific writings of William HENRY EDWARDS on ten unnumbered pages that precede the title page of volume 2 of his Illustrations of Diurnal Lepidoptera with Descriptions (The University Press, Cambridge, Mass.; 1911). Dos PASSOS added to this list seven titles that had been overlooked by WEEKS, at the end of "The Entomological Reminiscences of William Henry Edwards" (Journ. N.Y. Ent. Soc. 59: 129-186; 1951). I have just realized that another paper should be added:
1875—List of species of Lepidoptera collected in 1871, 1872, 1873 and 1874 in California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona, identified by William H. Edwards. Report Survey ivest of the 100th Meridian, Vol. 5: pp.791-794. Washington, D. C. 1875.
Although this paper appears to be an integral part of MEAD'S report, my copy of Kirby's Catalogue which had belonged to MEAD has a note in it in MEAD'S writing that clearly credits the list to W. H. EDWARDS.

THE 1956 ANNUAL MEETING
This year's meeting will be held at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City on Thursday, 27 December, in conjunction with the meetings of the Entomological Society of America and other affiliates of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Preliminary plans call for a single day of sessions, in order that members will be able to attend as many sessions as possible of other societies meeting that week in New York. The program is expected to include a symposium on a timely subject, round table discussions of ultra-violet light as a moth attractant and the hand-pairing technique, an open paper session, the business meeting, films on Lepidoptera, a dinner, and an evening social session. It is hoped that most members in the New York area will attend all or some of the day's program and that as many others as possible will come. The Program Chairman is SIDNEY A. HESSEL, and the Local Arrangements Chairman is Mrs. Alice L. Hopf.
