 mological and Microscopical Societies sent delegates to 

 discuss the necessary preliminaries. Mr. A. B. Farn gave his 

 services as Secretary; and a sub-Conmiittee was afterwards 

 elected by the general Committee, consisting of Messrs. 

 Carrington, Farn, Meek, Vaughan, Jenner Weir, U'ellman, 

 and \\'eston, upon whom fell the task of con)piling ihe 

 Catalogue, the assortment of the cases exhibited, and the 

 whole of the general arrangements. The management of 

 the Exhibition, after the opening, was carried out by 

 Mr. Carrington. 



All orders of insects were well represented ; and the 

 invitation to exhibit was most cordially responded to by 

 numerous entomologists from all parts of the country, many 

 of whom sent the whole of, and others very extensive 

 selections from, their cabinets. 



In the Coleopiera were the complete collections of 

 Dr. Power, and of the late T. Wilkinson, of Scarborough, 

 exhibited by Mr. Fl G. Meek ; and the CurcuHonidce 

 o( Mr. S. Stevens. Mr. G. C. Champion also sent the 

 greater part of his collection, which certainly bears away 

 the palm for its beauty of arrangement. Amongst his 

 numerous rarities were especially noticeable two out of 

 the lour known specimens of Aumra alpiiia ; a series of 

 Harpalus A-puvclatus ; single specimens (unique as British) 

 of LeptHsa ieslacea, Aleochara Jiybernica, Caidiopliurus 

 rujipes, Hoinalold eyreyin, and H. riifotestacea ; three 

 examples of the rare Emus hirtus; two Coi/ipsuchilus 

 palpitlis; and specimens ol the two rarest species oi' Apho- 

 diiis — A. scroja and A. coiusputus. There were also examples
