 following extract from a letter of Mr. W. F. Kirby, British 

 Museum, to Mr. Wilson with reference to the Siderone ituirtheala, 

 Cramer, was read, and the attention of members is called 

 to it : "I may also tell you that there are specimens of Sideronc, 

 " niarthesia, Cramer, from Trinidad in the Dublin Museum, a 

 " handsome black and red butterdy, which I have not seen from 

 " Trinidad in any other collection, and of which specimens ai-e 

 *' particularly required for the Museum here. Cramer figures 

 " the female, which is tawny where the male is scarlet, and I 

 " enclose you a tracing* of his figure. I expect it is a forest 

 *' insect, with probably a strong and perhaps rather lofty flight." 

 The President placed on the table an interesting head orna 

 ment made by the Indians of the Upper Amazon from the elytra 

 of buprestide beetles which had been presented to the Club by 

 Mr. St. Vraz, Hon. Member. Notes from the Jamaica Institute

 known in Trinidad as two-headed snakes living in Parasol ants 

 nests were in reality lizards and belonged to the genus AnipJiis- 

 bcena and were represented by two species, A. alba (L) tk A 

 fuliginosa L. The Typ)hlops mentioned by Mr. Hart was T
