of London, and hasten to assure you of my grateful recog- 

 nition of the honour. 



In view of the limited membership and of the distinguished 

 ability of those upon whom this honour has been conferred 

 from the beginning, I can but regard it as the highest com- 

 pliment that can be paid an entomologist and a complete 

 recognition of his services to science. 



If the Librarian will kindly send me a list of my publica- 

 tions in the Society's possession not in the printed Catalogue 

 of 1893, I will make the series as complete as it is in my 

 power to do. 



With cordial greetings to the Society, 



I remain. 



Very sincerely yours, 



Saril. H. Scudder.

Exhibitions, etc. 



Mr. Waterhouse exhibited pupae and portions of pupae of a 

 silk moth, Anthenra mylitta, selected from some scores of 

 specimens, which he had opened to see if they showed 

 stages of development agreeing with the examples given by 

 Dr. Spuler. Mr. Waterhouse's remarks were illustrated by 

 a diagram. The results appeared to confirm Dr. Spuler's 

 researches ; some specimens showed the tracheae, the median 

 vein having two branches, very rarely emitting a third branch 

 in the direction of the radial. Other specimens had faint 

 indications of the veins and of the discoidal spot of the 

 imago. Even at this very early stage the vein branching 

 from the subcostal vein to unite with the upper radial, and 

 the short branch uniting the second median vein with the 

 third median were distinctly traceable, no trachere being yet 

 visible in these branches. Mr. Waterhouse said that these 

 specimens showed (1) that the branch vein connecting the 

 subcostal with the radial veins, and the short piece connecting 

 the second median with the third median veins were 

 developed quite independently of the trachefe seen in the early
