Exhibitions. 



Colonel C. T. Bingham sent for exhibition specimens of 

 Diptera and two Aculeates from Sikhim, constituting in the 

 banding of the wings and other characteristics a striking case 

 of mimicry. The Rev. F. D. Morice drew attention to the way 

 in which the fly imitated with its tibia the tarsus of the bee. 



Mr. A. J. Chitty exhibited specimens of Atomaria rhenana, 

 Kr., taken by him out of some flood rubbish found near 

 Lancing, probably the same locality where the beetle was 

 discovered formerly by Dr. Sharp. The species is represented 

 in the Power collection, and it is also mentioned in Canon 

 Fowler's " British Coleoptera " as having been taken at Bognor, 

 and in Wicken Fen. He also exhibited a Piinus, apparently 

 new to Britain, found in a granary in Holborn in 1893, 

 where it had probably been introduced. 



Mr. W. J. Kaye exhibited species of Lepidoptera from 

 British Guiana, forming a Miillerian Association in which all 

 but one were day-flying moths, the exception being an Erycinid 

 butterfly, Esthemoj)s{s sericina. The moths, belonging to three 

 families, included Syntomidse ; Agyrta micilia, and Euagra
