Mr. White exhibited parasites bred from Bombyx neustria, 
and a living example of Hetrodes guyoni, found at Dartford, 
and believed to have been introduced with Esparto grass 
from Tunis. 
Mr. Enock exhibited a stem of barley, showing the appear- 
ance of the plant under an attack of Hessian Fly. 
Mr. Samuel Stevens exhibited a number of galls collected 
at Byfleet, Surrey, in July last, by Mr. Leonard Stevens ; 
also a specimen of Coleophora solitariella, with ichneumons 
bred from it. 
Mr. Edward Saunders exhibited a specimen of Catephia 
alchymista, captured by his son at St. Leonards, in June last. 
He also exhibited specimens of a rare Ant (Anochetus 
ghiliani), taken at Tangier by Mr. G. Lewis. One of these 
he had submitted to Dr. Emery, of Bologna, who thought 
that, although ocelli were present, the specimen was probably 
intermediate between a worker and a female, and that 
possibly the true female did not exist. 
Mr. Pascoe exhibited a number of species of Coleoptera 
recently collected in Germany and the Jura Mountains, 
and read a note correcting the synonymy of certain species 
of Brachycerus recently described and figured by him in the 
‘Transactions’ of the Society. He stated that the following 
corrections had been suggested by Mons. Péringuey and 
Mons. Aurivillius :— Brachycerus cinnamonomeus = annulatus, 
Gerst.; B. sutwralis = eckloni, Gyll.; B. capito = stellaris, 
OL., fasciculosus, Germ., apicatus, Gyll. (all vars. according to 
Péringuey); B. faustii = oblongus, 9, Fahr.; B. precursor 
= oblongus, g, Fahr.; B. electilis = sculpturatus, Fahr. ; 
B. draco = ? impressicollis, Péringuey.
