Gigantic Psycuip Cases.—Mr. O. E. Janson exhibited 
larvae and cases of a Psychid from Amboyna, the cases being 
beautifully constructed and closely covered on the exterior

Paper. 
Dr. CHAPMAN read a paper on “The British and a few 
Continental Species of the Genus Scoparia,’ and showed 
photographs of the genitalia, and a drawing to illustrate the 
neuration. 
Conversazione. 
The SEcRETARY announced that the Conversazione was fixed 
for Wednesday, May 17th, and that the Linnean Society had 
kindly placed their Rooms at the disposal of the Society for 
that occasion, and were generously lending their lantern, 
making no charge for light or for the current for the lantern. 
He also announced that Professor Poulton and Mr. Enock 
had consented to give lectures on that occasion. As the 
arrangements with the Linnean Society preclude the sale of 
tickets, it will be necessary to ask for a subscription towards 
the expenses (for refreshments, printing, postage, &c.) from 
those who apply for them, and also strictly to limit the 
number for which each Fellow may apply. Details will 
shortly be circulated. 
Vote of Thanks. 
On the motion of Mr. Rowianp-Brown, seconded by the 
Rev. G. WHEELER, a vote of thanks was unanimously passed 
to the President and Council of the Linnean Society for their 
kindness and generosity, and the Secretary was instructed to 
convey to them a notification of the same.
