JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS. 
M. Roger, of Bourdeaux, was elected a Foreign Ordinary Mem- 
ber of the Society. 
Exhibitions, Memoirs, &c. 
W. Raddon, Esq. exhibited a large collection of North American 
insects, which he had obtained from the skimmings of raw turpen- 
tine (in which they had become entangled) whilst under prepara- 
tion for use in this country, and then placed in spirits of turpentine 
to cleanse them thoroughly, including numerous Caribidce, Scari- 
tidce, Elateridce , Lamellicornes, See. together with a remarkable her- 
maphrodite, Lucanus Camelus, Fabr. 
M. Ingpen exhibited specimens of Tinea cloacea, together with 
their pupae, which had been reared from a large fungus growing 
upon a cedar tree, the heads of the pupae being considerably pro- 
truded out of the solid substance of the fungus. 
Mr. Slmckard exhibited a hermaphrodite specimen of Antliophora 
retusa, recently captured by Mr. F. Smith at Barnes, one side of 
which exhibited the peculiar structure and colours of the male, and 
the other side those of the female. 
Mr. Raddon exhibited, and distributed amongst the members 
present, living specimens of Plalijrhinus latirostris, recently cap- 
tured near Bristol in a compact species of fungus growing on an 
old ash-tree, in which were several small holes, out of which the 
insects emerged on the fungus being wetted, in order to lap up 
the moisture. 
Some observations were made relative to the annoyance caused 
by the myriads of cockroaches, Blatta Americana , swarming in 
many parts of London, during which Col. Sykes strongly recom- 
mended the black-beetle trap with a glass rim, in which his ser- 
vants nightly caught a very great number, and which was far more 
efficacious than red wafers, &c. 
The following memoirs were read. 
“ Descriptions of a New Genus and some New Species of Paus- 
sidee from the Collection of M. Gory,” By J. O. Westwood, 
F. L. S. 
“ Extracts (relative to the Annulosa') from a Memoir upon the 
Nervous System of the Animal Kingdom in general, with reference 
to the Analogies exhibited by its Permanent State of Development 
in the various Tribes, with its Progressive Development in the 
Human Subject.” By John Anderson, Esq., M.E.S. (Subse- 
quently published by the Author as a distinct work.) The reading 
of this memoir was illustrated by the exhibition of an extensive
