The Secretary read the following extract from a letter 

 from Mr. Philip Crowley, on the subject of the species of 

 Charaxes which he had described and figured in Part III, 

 of the Transactions of the Society : — " I hear from Mong. 

 Ch. Oberthiir that the Charaxes I described and figured in 

 the last number of the ' Transactions ' as * Charaxes gahonica 

 is identical with Charaxes Hadrianus of Ward, described in 

 Ent. Mo. Mag, viii. p. 120, 1871. I have referred to this vol. 

 of the Ent. Mo. Mag. and find Mons. Oberthiir is correct. 

 I am very sorry 1 omitted to notice this when searching for 

 the species, but having made the mistake I can now only 

 correct it in this manner."
