120 ON THE LUMINOSITY, &C. 



power to the debate ; and I must say that, as far as my owrk 

 satisfaction is concerned, the non-luminosity of the insect in 

 question is not proved. I am willing to divide the club on the 

 amendment if desired, but it appears useless to do so. The 

 amendment will be carried most certainly. Mr. Doubleday, 

 do you still wish for a division ? 



Mr. Doubleday. — There are several Entomologists -who 

 wish to have the subject definitely settled, and the present vote 

 will set the matter completely at rest; because, supposing 

 that I am beaten — of which there is no doubt — the question 

 cannot, by the laws of etiquette, be again tried, while the club 

 consists of the same members. As the meeting is a full one, 

 and we have been very fully and fairly heard, I must say, that 

 I think this opportunity for a final settlement of the subject 

 ought not to be lost, and I therefore respectfully request the 

 division. 



Mr. Davis. — Perhaps Dr. K will collect the signatures 



for the amendment, and some other gentlemen, also not a 

 member of the club, those against it. The substance of the 

 amendment, gentlemen, is, " That no alteration be made as 

 regards the figure and motto in the wrapper of the Ento- 

 mological Magazine." 



For the Amendment. Against it.
