24 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
Coleoptera we noticed a fine series of the once rare Spercheus 
emarginatus from West Ham, Dytiscus lapponicus from Scot- 
land, Hydroporus planus, Quedius fulvicollis, and many other 
rarities. Among the Hemiptera were Ceraleptus lividus, Mon- 
anthia costata, Salda cocksi, &. Among the Heterogyna and 
Fossorial Hymenoptera were noted the rare Stenamma nitidulus 
and S. westwoodi, Crabro signatus, Odynerus reniformis and its 
parasite Hlampus panzeri, Prosopis dilatata and others. Among 
the Ichneumonide, Colpomeria levigata, Chrysis neglecta, and 
C. fulgida, Banchus moniliatus, Ichnewmon gracilentus, Thawma- 
totypus billupsi, a genus and species new to science, and some 
eight or nine species of Pezomachus new to Britain. A case 
of wasps’ nests from Borneo, and a series of a species of Lepisma 
new to science, taken at Aldgate. Mr. Billups’ new style of 
mounting the Hymenoptera on a slender card, thus enabling the 
underside to be observed, was very much admired. 
Mr. West, of Greenwich, six drawers of Coleoptera, showing 
the Geodephaga, Dytiscide and Phytophaga, the specialities 
being Calosoma sycophanta, Chlenius schranki and Stenolophus 
skrimshiranus. 
Mr. Lewcock, a case of the genus Sylpha, Prionus coriarius, 
Saperda carcharias, and several species of Necrophorus. 
Mr. Cripps, a number of species of the genus Donacia. 
My. Eley, Notiophilus rufipes and a specimen of Brachycerus 
apterus, from the Cape of Good Hope. 
Mr. Enock, three cases illustrating the life-history of the 
British trap-door spider, and a very fine series of photo-micro- 
graphs. 
Other sections of Natural History comprised exhibits by 
Messrs. Cook, Dawes, Mackenzie, Step, Rowe, Williams, Billups, 
W. A. Pearce, A. EK. Pearce; and one room was set apart for the 
demonstration of microscopic exhibits, which were represented 
by twenty-one instruments lent by members of the Society, 
including valuable assistance from members of the South 
London and Quekett Microscopical Societies, and Mr. F. Enock. 
It was generally remarked by all present that this was the 
most successful Annual Exhibition yet held by the South 
‘London Entomological and Natural History Society. — W. A. 
Pearce and H. W. Barxer, Secretaries, 1, Denman Street,
