Annual Exhibition of the Haggerstone Entomological Society. 
A most interesting exhibition of insects took place at the 
above society’s room on the evenings of the 17th and 18th of 
November last. Six o’clock was the time announced for the 
opening of the exhibition; but such was the interest evinced 
on both evenings, by persons desirous of inspecting the 
entomological treasures, that some time before that hour 
visitors began to arrive, and, judging from the crowded state 
of the room during the two exhibition-nights, it is not at all 
improbable (should these annual exhibitions be continued) 
that, at no very distant date, a much larger room will be 
required, in order to give sufficient accommodation to the 
visitors, the exhibition this year far excelling those of the 
two previous years, both as regards the rarity and beauty of 
the insects shown, the three tables arranged down the centre 
of the room: being entirely covered with glass-cases and 
boxes containing insects of all orders. As might have been 
expected the Macro-Lepidoptera were the more numerously 
represented; the cases of Messrs. Barlow, Bryant, Bush, 
Clarke, Davis, Harper, Jackson, Lomier, Meek, Raine, 
Smith and others contained many beautiful and well-set 
insects. Among the rarer Lepidoptera submitted to the 
inspection of the visitors were Pieris Daplidice, Argynnis 
Lathonia, Vanessa Antiopa, Lycena Acis, Sesia chrysidifor- 
mis, S. Philanthiformis, Ophiodes lunaris (the second known 
British specimen, and captured by its owner, Mr. Smith, at 
West Wickham Wood, in 1861), Pachnobia alpina, Noto- 
donta bicolor, Xylina Zinckenii, Dianthecia capsophila, 
D. irregularis, D. Barrettii, Lythria purpuraria, Agrophila 
sulphuralis, Noctua ditrapezium, P. obductella, Dicro- 
rampha flavidorsana, and many others. Many beautiful
