were captured by himself at Eannocli, Scotland, in June, 1865, 

 when he was accompanied by Dr. Sharp and the late Mr. 

 E. C. Rye. The other specimens were taken in Lulea, North 

 Sweden, and the Upper Engadine (5000-6000 ft.) in Switzer- 

 land. 



Mr. W. H. B. Fletcher exhibited specimens of Agrotis 

 pyrophila from various localities, including two from Portland, 

 three from Forres of a smaller and darker form taken by Mr. 

 Salvage last year, and a melanic specimen from Stornoway 

 at first supposed to belong to A. lucernea, but which, on closer 

 examination, was seen to be referable to this species. He 

 also exhibited series of Triplmna orhona from Stornoway and 

 Forres, and T. suhsequa from Forres and the New Forest. 

 The specimens of T. subsequa from Forres were more distinctly 

 and richly marked than those from the New Forest, and were 

 also rather more variable in colour. 



Dr. Sharp exhibited specimens of Procidus (joriji, Kaup, 

 found by Mr. Champion in Guatemala, prepared to show the 

 rudimentary wings under the soldered elytra. Dr. Sharp 

 called attention to the existence of a peculiar articulated 

 papilla at the base of one of the mandibles ; and he also 

 showed sections of the head of Neleus interniptus displaying 

 this papilla, as well as the articulated teeth on the mandibles. 



The Rev. Canon Fowler exhibited specimens of Agapanthia 

 lineutocollis, Don, and remarked that they were able to produce 

 a distinct stridulation by the movement of the head against 

 the i)rothorax, and of the hinder part of the prothorax against 

 the mesothorax ; they were also able to produce an unpleasant 

 scent. He further remarked that Dr. Chapman had lately 

 informed him that Erirrhinus vutcnlatiis, F., had the power of 

 stridulating strongly developed. He also exhibited a specimen 

 of Barijnotus, taken in Norfolk, which was apparently an 

 abnormal example of B. ohscurus. 



Mr. Edward Saunders exhibited, on behalf of Mr. G. A. J. 

 Rothney, in illustration of his paper on Indian Ants, speci- 

 mens of the following: Camponutus compressus and fragments 

 of Solenopsis gcminatus destroyed by it; Cainponotus sp. ?, with 

 a mimicking spider {Salticus sp.) ; Pseudomyrma bicolor, with 

 its mimicking Salticiis, and a new species of Ehiiiopsis, viz..
