TV. Oxenden Hammond. — Name of a Beetle. — Would you 

 kindly name the insect of which I send sketch ? I know

 flower. They were there two days consecutively ; and the 

 second day I took them. Very probably it is a common 

 insect. Will you kindly say whether it is so or not ?

 ox very rare ? I should esteem it a great favour if you could 

 furnish some information respecting the matter, 



[I cannot answer the question without consulting more 

 competent authority. — E. Newman.^

 that a resolution expressive of the deep regret felt by the 

 members at the death of the late Mr. Henry Doubleday, 

 should be placed on the minutes, and also forwarded to 

 Mr. Newman. Mr. Ficklin warmly seconded, and Mr. Power

 as follows : — "This meeting desires to record the deep regret
