Mr. Macleay exhibited for the Rev. T. Wyat Gill a small beetle 

 from New Guinea — the firefly of the country — found about 40 

 miles East of Port Moresby. It was of the same family as the 

 fireflies of Southern Europe, the Lampi/ridce, though probably a 

 new species. Baron Maclay obseived that he had noticed in 

 New Guinea many other species of this family producing light in 

 the same manner.

 collection of minerals from Silverton, including a good specimen 

 of Horn Silver ; and a rich specimen of auriferous quartz from
