Watson (a specimen of Corjdon with five wings, Argynnis 

 Charlotta, &c.)j Messrs. Sydney Webb (very remarkable 

 varieties), Wellman the President (bred Geometrae, particu- 

 larly of the genus Acidalia), Wells, West, and Williams. 



Lepidoptera and Coleoptera [Exotic). — By Messrs. Cox, 

 Jarvis, Oldham, and Sherwood. 



Diptera. — Messrs. Hoey (Hippobosca, &c.), and Newman 

 (all the British Tabanidae, and the larger Syrphidge). 



Hymenopiera. — Messrs. Healey (life-histories of Driiidse, or 

 leaf-miners), Hillnian (galls produced by Cynipsidae, or gall- 

 flies), and Hoey (life-history of Abia, &c.). 



Coleoptera. — Messrs. Allin, Champion, Marsh, West (rare 

 and interesting British species). 



Hemiptera. — Messrs. Champion and Marsh (rare and inte- 

 resting British species). 



Stegoptera. — Mr. M'Lachlan (a collection of British 

 PhryganidsB, or caddis-flies, with the cases of several of the 

 species). 



The varieties of British Lepidoptera attracted most atten- 

 tion ; but the fine series of bred Acidalia exhibited by the 

 President, the Druidae exhibited by Mr. Healey, and the 

 almost perfect collection of Phryganidae exhibited by Mr. 

 M'Lachlan, were the most interesting to myself. — Edward 

 Newman. 



Death of Mr. Lord. — John Keast Lord, the late manager 

 of the Brighton Aquarium, died at his residence in Dorset 

 Gardens, Brighton, on the 9lh December, 1872, in the fifty- 

 fiflh year of his a^e. Just before the opening of the 

 Aquarium, Mr. Lord had a severe paralytic stroke, from 

 which he seems never to have completely recovered. He 

 was known to the general reading public as the author of two 

 works on Natural History : ' The Naturalist in Vancouver,' 

 and 'At Home in the Wilderness;' but to the readers of the 

 'Entomologist' his name is more familiar through Mr. 

 Walker's descriptions of the "Insects" he collected for the 

 Vicei-oy of Egypt, both in Egypt and Arabia. These were 

 named and published in the 'Entomologist' by Mr. Walker; 

 and have been sent to Egypt for the Viceroy's collection. — 

 Edward Neivman.
