Dr. Horn exhibited a phototype plate on which twelve specimens 

 of Pleocoma were figured, three of them females, representing seven 

 species. It was further stated that a full description of Pleocoma 

 would be given with the view of answering Dr. Gerstaecker's criti- 

 cism of LeConte's work. A number of drawings were exhibited, 

 which it was proposed to publish shortly. 



Dr. Horn also exhibited specimens of what he had no doubt were 

 the larvae of PlnUjpsyUa received recently from a friend in Texas. 

 In this larva the mandibles are very distinct, but in the imago are 

 entirely absent. The well developed maxillae enable it to obtain 

 food. Sketches of details were shown which, f )r better illustration, 

 were enlarged on the blackboard. Adjourned 9.20.
