European species of Callicera from the collections of Bigot 

 and Kowarz, C. macquartii, C. spinolae, and C. porrii, Rond. 



Mr. H. St. J. DoNiSTHORPE exhibited Tetropium fuscum, 

 L. ( (? and $ ), and eight specimens of Abdera 4:-Fasciata, 

 Curt., all taken by him at Market Bosworth, Leicestershire, 

 in July 1904. 



The Rev. F. D. Morice exhibited cells from Majorca con- 

 structed by two wasps, Polistes gallicus and Eumenes coarctatus. 

 He said that the little pitcher-like cells of the Etomenes were 

 often attached to shrubby plants, such as heath ; but the 

 specimen shown occurred, with many like it, on a stone wall, 

 from which it was very difficult to remove it unbroken. 



Mr. A. J. Chitty exhibited specimens of the earwig 

 Ajyterygida media, Hagenb., better known as albipemiis, found 

 originally by West wood at Ashford, and subsequently recorded 

 only from Norfolk. He had taken the species at Hunting- 

 field and Charing, Kent, this year. 



Mr. W. J. Lucas exhibited a living specimen of Lahidura 

 riparia, S , from the shore near Christchurch, Hants, kept 

 alive for more than a month, and fed upon fruit, meat, etc. 

 He also showed a lantern-slide, depicting the threatening 

 attitude assumed by this earwig when disturbed. 



Professor T. Hudson Beare exhibited on behalf of Mr. C. J. 

 C. Poole, who was present as a visitor, specimens of Aulonuim 

 sulcatum, Oli v. , a species of Coleoptera new to the British fauna. 

 The specimens were taken at Enfield in July of the present 

 year under elm-bark in burrows of Scolytus destructor. The 

 genus belongs to the family Colydiidte, and is placed by 

 Gangelbauer (" Die Kafer von Mitteleuropa ") next to the 

 genus Colydium. There are two European species in the 

 genus, sidcatuin, Oli v., and ruficorne, Oliv. ; both are stated to 

 be rare, and the distribution of sulcatum is said to be Central 

 and South Europe, and it is a parasite upon species of 

 Scolytus. 



Mr. Walter Dannatt exhibited a specimen of Papilio 

 homerus from the Blue Mountains, Jamaica, a species generally 

 supposed to be confined to that island until Mr. Aaron, a 

 Canadian entomologist familiar with the insect, stated that
