In another the opposite dots are larger, the basal streak and first spot become 

 confluent, and the middle portion of the wing is suflused with ochreous and brown. 



In a tliird a large brown blotch occupies the inner margin, and includes the 

 elongate spots. 



In a fourth the wing is entirely brown, the basal streak and spots being very 

 indistinct. 



A fifth, also brown, has the streak and spots deep black, these latter becoming 

 tufts of raised scales. 



And lastly, a sixth form is nearly black, with minute white dots scattered over 

 the disc. — Charles G. Barrett, Haslemere. 



Cicada anglica in Surrey. — One day last June I had the good fortune to meet 

 with a specimen of this insect in a copse near here. It was flying in the sunshine, 

 down a grassy ride, and pitched rather suddenly among some rushes and long 

 grass which were growing in a wide open space at a bend of the path, where I 

 managed to secm-e it. 



Its strong membranous wings made a rustling sound similar to that produced 

 by dragon-fiies, but, being a female, it of course made no other noise whatever. 



I am pretty certain I saw another specimen a few days afterwards flying by 

 the same spot (one of the warmest and most sheltered nooks in the neighbourhood), 

 but its flight was so rapid that there was no chance of capturing it. 



The occurrence of this uncommon species is interesting, especially as it has 

 not, I believe, been previously noticed in the county of Surrey. — Id. 



Occurrence of a Deprcssaria new to Britain. — Depkessaria olerella. — I have 

 beaten this species from thatch in several places in this neighbourhood, principally 

 on a wide extent of heath called Woolmcr Forest, which commences about five 

 miles from here. 



It seems almost exclusively confined to the heaths, and doubtless feeds upon 

 the yai'row (Achillea niillefolim) in those places. 



This species is figured and described in the Nat. Hist, of the Tineina, vol. 6. 



It bears a general resemblance to Dep. alhipunctella, but is decidedly paler, 

 and has the pale hinder fascia much more sharply angulated. 



It occurs in September and October. — Id. 



Entomological Society or London, Novemler 7th, 1864. — P. P. Pascoe, Esq., 

 F.L.S., President, in the Chair. 



Before the business of the Meeting had commenced, the President, on behalf 

 of Members of the Society, presented Mr, W. Wilson Saunders with a Testi- 

 monial (which had been subscribed for by upwards of 50 Members), as an acknow- 

 ledgement of the immense benefit rendered to the science of Entomology by 

 Mr. Saunders, and as a slight return for the pleasant excursions and annual enter- 

 tainments to which he had invited them at Reigate. 



The Secretary read an address suitable for tho occasion, and Mr. Saunders 

 replied. 



Mr. Jauaon exhibited, on behalf of Mr. Sidebotham, of Manchester, four new 

 British species of (.'urcuUo)Lid'jc, viz., Lisas Jiliformis of Fabricus, taken by Mr.
