Exhibitions, etc. 
Mr. W. F. H. Blandford exhibited a series of eleven male 
specimens of Rhina barbirostris from British Honduras, of 
which the largest and smallest examples measure respectively 
60 and 17 mm. The difference in bulk, supposing the pro- 
portions to be identical, is as 43 to 1. He remarked that 
this variation of the size is especially common in the Brenthide, 
Cossonide, and other wood-boring Coleoptera. The President, 
Dr. Sharp, the Rey. Canon Fowler, Mr. Jacoby, the Honble. 
Walter Rothschild, Mr. Merrifield, and Mr. Champion took 
part in the discussion which ensued. 
Mr. A. J. Chitty exhibited specimens of Cardiophorus equiseti 
taken near Braunton, on the north coast of Devon, in May, 
1891. Mr. Champion and Mr. Blandford made some remarks 
on the species. 
Mr. McLachlan exhibited for Mr. J. W. Douglas, male 
specimens of a Coccid (Lecanium prunastri), bred from scales 
attached to shoots of blackthorn (Prunus spinosa) received 
from Herr Karel Sule, of Prague. Mr. Douglas communi- 
cated the following notes on the species. ‘‘On the 10th May 
‘* last, the males appeared out of scales attached to the shoots 
“ of blackthorn (Prunus spinosa), received on the 9th from Herr 
‘* Karel Sule, of Prague. These males have no special salient 
*‘ characters, but their white scales are very easy to differen- 
‘* tiate from those of congeneric species, for instead of being 
‘** smooth and translucent, they are opaque and covered with 
‘‘ small granulations,”’ .
