to me, on their sending boxes, or to those who prefer exchange 
for any Sesia, except tipuliformis: perfect specimens wanted 
to replace old ones.—C. S. Gregson ; Rose Bank, Fletcher 
Grove, Edge Lane, Liverpool, June 25, 1871. 
Macaria alternata and Diphthera Orion at East Looe.— 
I have taken one specimen of Macaria alternata and several 
of Diphthera Orion this year.—Slephen Clogg; East Looe, 
July 12, 1871. 
Extracts from the Proceedings of the Entomological Society, 
July 3, 1871. 
Coleoptera collected in Ireland.—My. 8. Stevens exhibited 
a collection of Coleoptera formed by him during a recent 
tour in Ireland. The most interesting species was Chlenius 
holosericeus, of which he had captured several examples at 
Killaloe, near Lough Derg. 
{The complete list is published in the ‘Entomologist’ for 
August.— Edward Newman. | 
Emus hirtus in the New Forest.—Mr. Champion exhibited 
Emus hirtus, recently captured by him, in cow-dung, in the 
New Forest; being the only instance of its occurrence since 
the late Mr. Alfred Haward found a specimen many years 
since. He also exhibited two new British species of Hemip- 
tera, viz., Corizus Abutilon and Drymus latus. 
Botys fuscalis, with a portion of the puparium still 
altached.—Mr. Stainton exhibited (on behalf of its captor, 
the Rev. R. P. Murray) an example of Botys fuscalis, from 
the Isle of Man, to the head of which still adhered a portion 
of the puparium. The antenne and haustellum were free, 
but the case of the latter projected perpendicularly from the 
under side of the head, simulating the rostrum of a Panorpa. 
The insect must have been nearly blind, yet it was flying 
briskly at the time of capture. 
Insect-enemies of Strawberries.—Mr. Dunning read a letter 
he had received from the Rev. W. H. Wayne, of Much Wen-

were infested by a small Myriapod, which entered into the 
interior; there were often six or eight in one strawberry, and 
they were often eaten without detection. Mr. Wayne also
