 Peru. — The Rev. A. Miles Moss read a paper on the " Splnngidae of

 had made daring the course of a three years' residence in Lima. The 

 paper was farther illustrated by a large number of beautiful water- 

 colour drawings of the larvae and foodplants of most of the species 

 exhibited. The paper dealt in a most interesting wa}' with the 

 topography and climate of Peru as affecting the economy of the 

 Hphingids and other lepidoptera, while passing allusions to the scenery 

 and the difficulties of rearing the larvje obtained on distant expeditions, 

 were much appreciated b}' the members present.
