 si^ecies of Lepidoptera and Diptera recently collected for him in 

 Mexico by Mr. Herbert Smith, Mr. White exhibited a specimen 

 of Osmylus maculatus, taken by him on the Stort, near Saw- 

 bridgeworth, in July last. He also exhibited jDarasites bred from 

 Bomhyx neustria, and a living example of Heterodes guyoni, 

 found at Dartford, and believed to have been introduced with 

 Esparto grass from Tunis. ]\tr. Enock exhibited a stem of 

 barley showing the appearance of the plant under an attack of 

 Hessian Fly. Mr. Stevens exhibited a number of galls collected 

 at Byfleet, Surrey, in July last, by Mr. Leonard Stevens ; also 

 a specimen of Coleopliura solitariella, with ichneumons bred from 

 it. Mr. Edward Saunders exhibited a specimen of Catephia 

 alchymhta, captured by his son at St. Leonards, in June last. 

 He also exhibited specimens of a rare Ant {Anochctus gldliani), 

 which were taken at Tangier by Mr. G. Lewis. One of these he 

 had submitted to Dr. Emery, of Bologna, who thought that, 

 although ocelli were present, the specimen was probably inter- 

 mediate between a worker and a female, and that possibly the 

 true female did not exist. Mr. Pascoe exhibited a number of 

 species of Coleoptera recently collected in Germany and the 

 Jura Mountains, and read a note correcting the synonymy of 

 certain species of Bracliycerus recently described by him in the 

 * Transactions ' of the Society. He stated that the corrections 

 had been suggested by Mons. Peringuey and Mons. Aurivillius. 

 Prof. Westwood communicated a paper entitled " A List of the 

 Diurnal Lepidoptera collected in Northern Celebes by Dr. Sydney 

 Hickson, with descriptions of new Species." — H. Goss, Hon. Sec.
