legs have small short hairs springing out all over them. Wings hyaline, 

 with costal, subcostal, median and submedian veins ; in fore wings the 

 subcostal runs parallel with costal until before reaching apex it bends 

 downwards and then curves upwards, ending at termination of costal 

 vein, forming a cell which is opaque ; it also sends a veinlet from before 

 middle that descends and curves around upwards until near the third of 

 the wing, when it divides, the lower ending in outer edge ; the other runs 

 to below apex, near the edge, where it divides into two short veinlets, 

 terminating at outer edge ; median vein curves slightly downwards until 

 near the middle of wing ; it then divides into two, the lower descending 

 till near apex of inner edge, when it suddenly curves upwards, terminating 

 at outer edge, the cell thus formed being opaque ; the other veinlet 

 ascends, crossing the branch of the subcostal till just before reaching the 

 apex it breaks into two veinlets, forming a small triangular cell at apex. 

 Hind wings contain one costal, three subcostal, two submedian, and one 

 internal cell. Length of matured specimens from . iq to .12 of an inch.

 Esq., on Tuesday, the 3rd June, 1879, at 8 o'clock p. m. 



Mr. Bowles read a paper entitled "Some of the insects that frequent 

 the orchard and garden — under what circumstances they increase unduly, 

 what insects to spare, what to kill, and how to kill them, with other useful 

 information," by the Rev. F. W. Fyles, corresponding member of the 

 Nat. Hist. Soc. 



The annual report of the Secretary-Treasurer was then read and 

 adopted. This report showed that after meeting the current expenses of 

 the year, there still remained a very fair balance on hand. 



The proceedings were closed by the election of the following officers 

 for the ensuing year : — President, G. J. Bowles ; Vice-President, H. H.
