appeared to think it probable that he had g[ot it frotn Hamp- 

 slead, as he often collected there. The example sent to him 

 by Mr. Eiiock was difi'erent from the Isle of Wight species, 

 of which he had several female specimens, but no males, 

 though he believed them to be A. Sulzeri. He would be very 

 glad if collectors in the Hampslead locality would look out 

 for the males in the autumn and winter, as if he could obtain 

 that sex it would enable him to put the question, as to 

 species, at rest. 



Mr. Enuck exhibited a bottle containing a great number 

 of larva) of Cos.siis liyniperda, which he iiad found in a 

 portion of a small willow. He had taken fixty-six larvae out 

 of a piece of wood four feet long, 



Mr. Dunning again directed the attention of members to 

 the exhil)ition by Mr. J. Jenner Weir, at the last meeting, of 

 a female specimen of Cicada moiitana, which was reported 

 to have been distinctly heard to slridulate, notwithstanding 

 that the insect was a female, and also that the species was 

 one of which even the males were not previously known to 

 s-tridulate. Mr. Weir stated that since the last meeting he 

 had again been to the New Forest, and had seen, iu the 

 possession of Mr. James Gulliver, o( Ramnor, near Brocken- 

 hurst, two specimens of Cicada montaiia, and he was assured 

 by Mr. Gulliver that the stridulation of the insect was well 

 known to him, and that he was guided by the sound so made 

 in effecting the capture. Mr. Champion said that he himself 

 had captured the insect, and had distinctly heard a loud 

 noise, but whether the sound was caused by the males or 

 females he could not say. Mr. Dunning considered that 

 further evidence was wauling to prove stridulation in the 

 females.

 Insects, Native and Foreign. Order — Hemiptera. iSub-

 Glover, Washington, D.C., 1876; pp. 132; 4to. 



In many respects this is rather a singular work. Mr. 

 Glover seems endowed with an unusual talent for collecting 

 and arranging notes upon the various orders of insects, and 

 desirous of making useful to others the result of his labours,
