DeilephilaGaliiand Cheerocampa Celerio.—Mr. M‘Lachlan 
exhibited coloured drawings by Mr. Buckler of the larve of 
Deilephila Galii and C. Celerio. Of the former no less than 
sixteen different varieties were represented, all found during

Nonagria brevilinea.—My. Bond exhibited specimens of 
Nonagria brevilinea, of which a dozen were taken by Mr. G.

Meloe rugosus.—Mr. F. Smith, referring to his previous 
remarks on Meloe rugosus (Proc. Ent. Soc. 1869, p. xx.), 
mentioned that he had again visited Prittlewell this autumn, 
and taken twenty-five specimens of. this beetle; they were 
found under the herbage, and never came into daylight, only 
the tip of the abdomen of the female being visible; the 
males appeared to fight furiously with one another, not
