angle with their tops resting against the sides of the cage, and away 

 from the food-plant. The cage was simplj'- a white deal box stood 

 on end, the lid being replaced by green leno, which formed the front 

 of the cage. All seven of the resulting pupae on the sticks were 

 putty-coloured, with broad blaclf stripes along the sides and under- 

 parts, and black all over the wing cases, givmg the whole of the 

 pupae a very dark appearance. Similar variation sometimes 

 oecurs in Pierid pupae ; but he thought this was one of the most 

 marked cases that had come to his notice." 



Mr. H. Moore, on behalf of Mr. Enefer, exhibited a Longicorn 

 beetle found in a case of Canadian produce at Unity Wharf, Dock- 

 head. It was subsequently identified by Mr. K. G. Blair as Stro- 

 inatinni afiperiihnn, White, a native of Cochin China. Mr. Enefer 

 has made further enquiries, and he found that goods from China 

 and the Straits are also received at the wharf, so that it can be 

 safely concluded that its association with Canadian produce was 

 accidental.
