tion of Thibetan Coleopterous Insects, made by Dr. T. Thomson, 

 F.L.S., which he proposes hereafter to make the subject of a paper. 

 He remarked on the Mediterranean character of these denizens of 

 an Alpine plateau, such as exists at Iskardo, where they were col- 

 lected ; and in reference to the destruction of species, drew attention 

 to the remarkable genus Deucalion, a Longicorn insect discovered 

 on barren rocks near Madeira by Mr. WoUaston, F.L.S., which will 

 shortly be published in Mr. WoUaston's work on the Coleoptera of 

 Madeira.

Professor P. J. van Beneden, James D. Dana, A.M., Professor 

 Andre Marie Constant Dumeril, Professor Karl Anton Meyer, Pro- 

 fessor Friedrich Anton Wilhelm Miquel, and M. Jean Francois 

 Camille Montagne, were elected Foreign Members. 



The necessary business of the Meeting having been disposed of, 

 the President proposed that, in consequence of the recent death of 

 Nathaniel Wallich, Esq., M.D., one of the Vice-Presidents of the 

 Society, and in consideration of his long connexion with, and 

 eminent services to the Society and to natural history, the Society 

 should adjourn, which was unanimously agreed to.
