Exhibitions, Memoirs, &c. 
Mr. Bainbridge exhibited a monstrous Clivina fossor, in which 
the right antenna was furcate and considerably incrassated. 
Mr. Shipster exhibited a preparation of the human eye in 
spirits, to which a specimen of Latridus porcatus was attached, 
and which it was considered had become accidentally attached 
during the process of preparation. 
Mr. Barker, M.E.S., informed the meeting that the minute 
house-ant had been observed to be driven away by washing the 
places it frequented with water in which the outer green skins of 
walnuts had been soaked. 
Mr. Westwood, in alluding to Mr. Templeton’s discovery of a 
Strepsipterous insect in the body of one of the Brazilian Sphegidce 
described at the last meeting of the Society, stated the discovery 
of two chrysalides of another species of the same order, in the 
abdominal cavity of Ammophila sabulosa, recorded by M. Leon 
Dufour {Ann. Sci. Nat., January, 1837) ; and Mr. Hope stated 
that he had found at Southend specimens of the same sand-wasp 
having the abdomen swollen, and which he had attributed to some 
disease, but which he was convinced was produced by the pre- 
sence of Strepsiptera. 
Mr. Westwood also noticed the observation of M. Dufour in 
the memoir above alluded to, in which a parasite larva found in 
the interior of the body of Andrena aterrima was observed to 
have one of its extremities attached to one of the great trachean 
vesicles of the bee by two of the trachean tubes arising therefrom 
which penetrate into the body of the parasite, and which afforded 
some confirmation of the observations made by him on the con- 
nexion of the pupa of the Stylops with the bee described by him 
in these Transactions (vol. i. p. 170). 
Mr. Westw’ood also noticed, in connexion with Mr. Spence’s 
observations made at a previous meeting upon the minute parasites 
found upon the outside of the pupae of Scolytus destructor , that 
M. L. Dufour had discovered numerous minute worms in the
