  and 
  before 
  the 
  flowers 
  expand, 
  it 
  lives 
  between 
  tubularly 
  united 
  leaves 
  ; 
  it 
  afterwards 
  

   draws 
  the 
  flowers 
  together. 
  The 
  perfect 
  insect 
  appears 
  from 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  August 
  to 
  the 
  

   end 
  of 
  September. 
  

  

  " 
  Ypsolophus 
  Schmidtiellus, 
  V. 
  Heyden. 
  Size 
  of 
  Grapholitha 
  Hypericana. 
  The 
  

   lonq-, 
  narrow, 
  anterior 
  wings 
  are 
  orange-coloured, 
  darker 
  towards 
  the 
  hinder 
  margin, 
  

   with 
  a 
  small 
  dark 
  spot 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  wing, 
  and 
  a 
  larger 
  dark 
  spot 
  near 
  the 
  in- 
  

   ner 
  margin 
  towards 
  the 
  base. 
  Cilia 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  colour 
  as 
  the 
  wings, 
  preceded 
  by 
  a 
  

   fine 
  row 
  of 
  dark 
  spots. 
  The 
  larva 
  we 
  find 
  in 
  May 
  on 
  Origanum 
  vulgare, 
  where 
  it 
  be- 
  

   trays 
  itself 
  by 
  the 
  curved 
  leaves. 
  On 
  any 
  alarm 
  it 
  hastily 
  retreats 
  to 
  the 
  earth. 
  The 
  

   imago 
  appears 
  at 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  June." 
  

  

  Ypsolophus 
  Schmidtiellus 
  (first 
  described 
  in 
  the 
  * 
  Isis,' 
  1848) 
  can 
  hardly 
  be 
  the 
  

   Durdhamellus, 
  yet 
  Origanum 
  would 
  be 
  a 
  likely 
  food 
  for 
  that 
  species. 
  

  

  With 
  regard 
  to 
  Depressaria 
  Libanotidella, 
  its 
  food-plant 
  is 
  British, 
  but 
  rare, 
  oc- 
  

   curring 
  on 
  the 
  chalk 
  hills 
  of 
  Cambridgeshire. 
  I 
  find 
  it 
  in 
  Sowerby 
  as 
  Seseli 
  Libanotis, 
  

   and 
  in 
  Babington 
  as 
  Libanotis 
  montana.

  the

  has 
  removed

  being 
  completed, 
  the 
  Zoological

  kindly 
  permitted 
  this 
  meeting 
  to 
  be 
  

   held 
  at 
  their 
  house 
  in 
  Hanover 
  Square, 
  for 
  which 
  favour 
  the

  passed 
  a

   thanks. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Wallace 
  was 
  present 
  as 
  a 
  visitor. 
  He 
  has 
  lost 
  the 
  whole 
  of 
  the 
  valuable 
  

   collections 
  of 
  Natural 
  History, 
  made 
  by 
  him 
  during 
  several 
  years' 
  residence 
  in 
  South 
  

   America, 
  by 
  the 
  burning 
  at 
  sea 
  of 
  the 
  ship 
  in 
  which 
  he 
  was 
  bringing 
  them 
  to 
  this 
  coun- 
  

   tiy, 
  and 
  he 
  narrowly 
  escaped 
  death 
  in 
  an 
  open 
  boat, 
  from 
  which, 
  after 
  long 
  privation 
  

   and 
  suspense, 
  and 
  while 
  yet 
  in 
  the 
  midst 
  of 
  the 
  Atlantic 
  Ocean, 
  he 
  and 
  others 
  were 
  

   taken 
  up 
  by 
  a 
  vessel 
  bound 
  to 
  London.
