Professor R. W. Smith exhibited some curious varieties of some of 

 our native ferns. 



Mr. Burchall exhibited a fine collection of Alpine Zepidoptera, and 

 made observations on some of the rarer species. 



Mr. Bailey exhibited some rare Coleoptera taken in the Crimea and 

 Africa. The thanks of the Members were voted to Mr. Bailey for exhi-

 neral Meeting, and approved of by the Council, was then elected a Cor- 

 responding Member. By the wish of the Members present, the usual

 acclamation. 



FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 19, 1858. 



Professor W. H. Harvey, M. D., F. L. S., Vice-President, in the Chair. 



Minutes of former Meeting having been read, were approved of, and 

 signed by the Chairman. 



Letters were read from C. Spence Bate, F. L. S., and J. S. Bower- 

 bank, F. R. S., acknowledging their election as Corresponding Members 

 of tho Association, and conveying their best thanks to the Members for 

 the honour conferred upon them. 



Rev. JosErn Greene read a paper by Lieutenant Crozier, R. E., 

 A. B., Corresponding Member, being — 



a catalogue of lepldoptera captured by him during the past 

 summer near chatham. 



In tho few remarks I intend to make, I shall confine myself to the 

 Rhopalocera, Sphinges, and Bombyces, as in the course of a single summer 

 it is impossible to arrive at anything like a correct estimate of the num- 

 1m t of species of the Nocture occurring in a locality.
