Puymorens, closely resembling the central Alpine form, while 

 all those taken in the Central Pyrenees at Gavarnie and the 

 Lac de Gaube were the darker and more robust var. oberthuri. 

 He further suggested that, as between those species enumerated, 

 there seemed to be a greater superficial affinity between 

 pyrenaica and pheretes (not reported from the Pyrenees) than 

 between pyrenaica and orbitulus. At Gavarnie the two latter 

 were taken flying together, but were hardly emerged this year 

 in the last week of July, and no $ ? were observed.

Mr. E. C. Bedwell, exhibited eight specimens of Apion 

 hivvjatum, Kirby, one of the rarest indigenous Apions, found 

 on August 31st, sheltering under plants of Echium vidyare in 

 the Lowestoft district. The one 3 taken was exceedingly 

 diminutive, being only about H mm. in size. Commander 

 Walker said that he had this year seen one example of this 

 beetle taken at Oxford, where it was known to occur. 



Mr. E. Shelford showed several insects from Sarawak, 

 Borneo, including (i) a Lygasid bug which had been taken 

 burrowing in decayed wood : the fore-limbs exhibited a 

 remarkable adaptation for fossorial habits, comparable with 

 the modified fore-limbs of the mole-cricket (Gryllotalpa), which 

 insect in Borneo is frequently found in decayed wood ; (ii) a 

 Brenthid beetle, with a deep channel running along the dorsal
