number of Lepidoptera, including a long series of species 
belonging to the genus Rhomal@osoma, containing many unusual 
forms, lately received from Accra, West Africa; also, from the same 
locality, about sixteen species of the genus Charaxes in remark- 
ably fine condition, and represented by specimens of both sexes. 
He also exhibited a number of large specimens of Saturnia from 
Natal, and several unknown species of other genera. The Rev. 
W. W. Fowler exhibited four beetles belonging to the family 
Carabide. ‘Three of them had been taken twenty years ago on 
the banks of the Clyde, and had lately been identified as 
Anchomenus sahlberg: (Chaud.), a species new to Europe, having 
hitherto only been found in Siberia. ‘The remaining specimen 
was Anchomenus archangelicus (Sahlb.),a North European species 
nearly related to A. sahlbergi, but easily distinguishable therefrom 
by the greater depth of the striz of the elytra. Mr. J. W. Slater 
exhibited, on behalf of Mr. Mutch, a spider belonging to the 
genus Galeodes, and a Lamellicorn beetle belonging to the genus

belonging to the family Curculionide. Mr. Billups exhibited a 
specimen of Bassus bizonarius, an ichneumon new to Britain,

observations on them. Mr. S. Edwards exhibited an unknown
