Alucita. The conclusions contained in the report were 

 adopted, and the Society resolved that it should be printed 

 in the A^males at the conclusion of M. Desjardin's paper. 



M. Serville read, in his own name and that of M. Brullk, 

 a report on another paper by M. Desjardins, on a new species 

 of Hemiptera, of the family Hydrocorisce. The Society also 

 adopted this report, and ordered its being printed at the con- 

 clusion of M. Desjardin's paper.

 Dr. Greville of Edinburgh, were severally admitted members

 members, M. Robert, residing at La Chenee, near Liege.

 added to the record of its capture last year in Sologne, proves
