Exhibitions. 



A Coleopteron new to Britain. — Commander J. J. 

 Walker exhibited specimens of Claviger longicornis, Mull, 

 (with C. testaceus, Preyssl., for comparison), a species of 

 Coleoptera new to the British list. They were taken under 

 stones near Kirtlington, Oxfordshire, in May, 1906, and April, 

 1907, in nests of a small black ant of a species not determined, 

 but suggested by Mr. Donisthorpe to be possibly Lasius 

 umbratus, Nye.

Lepidoptera with the "Neptis" pattern, collected by 

 C. A. Wiggins near Entebbe in 1909. — Professor Poulton 

 exhibited 120 of the 130 insects in the following list — 10 

 examples of jV. ophione having been omitted for the sake of 

 convenience. The exhibit had been arranged by Professor 

 Poulton and Mr. C. A. Wiggins, during his visit to England 

 in 1911. All the specimens had been captured in forests 

 within a few miles of Entebbe, between May 23 and July 25, 

 1909. The captures were indiscriminate, so that the following 

 list gives a fair idea of the true proportions in the period 

 under review.
