wings whitish, instead of being black, as in Zygena lonicere, 
Z. trifol, and others of the same genus; antenne seem rather 
finer; and it is altogether a very curious-looking insect. 
Many gentlemen in London have seen the specimens to which 
I refer, but no one would give a direct opinion as to what they 
are. I went to compare them with the examples of the genus in 
the British Museum at South Kensington, and saw, by the 
kindness of Mr. Kirby, all their specimens of Zygene; also 
those in the collection of Professor Zeller. I further went to 
Bethnal Green Museum, and saw all in the Doubleday collection ; 
but did not find an insect in either which is at all like my 
specimens. 
I venture to think it is fair to presume that it is either 
a species new to science, or a good local form; and as such 
I have great pleasure in provisionally naming it Zygena eborace, 
in honour of the locality which has afforded me so much pleasant 
entomological study, Ebor being the ancient name of York. 
My opinion is that it is a good local form of Zygena lonicere, 
for it cannot be Z. trifol nor Z. meliloti, because neither species 
occur in this district.

ENTOMOLOGICAL NOTES, CAPTURES. &e, 
PRESENTATION TO Mr. Joun T. Carrineron.—It is seldom 
that entomologists have experienced such genuine pleasure as 
fell to the lot of those who attended the meeting at the Royal 
Aquarium on the evening of the 5th November last. Although 
the usual business of the first Monday in the month, viz., the 
exhibition of specimens, was as interesting as usual, yet the 
presentation of a handsome mahogany entomological cabinet 
(made by Brady) to Mr. John T. Carrington formed the chief 
feature of the occasion. It contains fifty-four drawers, 20 in. by 
18 in., arranged in three tiers; and forms a fitting present to one 
whose labours have added much to the cause of Entomology. 
The presentation was made, in the name of the numerous 
subscribers, by Mr. J. Jenner Weir in a happy speech; and I am 
sure that he expressed the sentiments of all present when he 
observed that the meetings there had been among some of the
