Lispe pyfimaa and Chirosia parvicornis, are included in the late 

 Mr. Verrall's list of " Another 100 new species of Diptera," " Ent. 

 Mo. Mag.," April, 1911. 



Phorbia paiva, Ztt., an early spring species taken at Sallows ; not 

 yet in any printed list, probably common if looked for. 



Lininophora (fstiinni, VilL, not yet in any printed list, but taken 

 by him in Ireland as well as at Porthcawl. There was one doubtful 

 female of this species in the late Mr. Verrall's collection. 



Fannia ciliata, Stein. One male is recorded in the " Scottish 

 Naturalist " for July 1912, as being taken by Mr. King at Forres. 

 The female was unknown, but the female specimen exhibited was 

 taken at the same time and place as the two males. 



Macronychia yriseola, Fall. Identified by Mr. Wamwrighl, who 

 informs me he only knows of one other British record — by Col. 

 Yerbury from the same locality (Porthcawl). 



Mr. Robert Adkin brought for exhibition a copy of the volume of 

 Rosel's " Der Natuurlyke Historie der Insecten," dealing with the 

 Orthoptera, and called attention to the beautiful execution of many 

 of the plates, the work having been published in Amsterdam during 

 the years 1764 to 1768. 



Mr. R. Armstrong Adkin exhibited series of shells of the water 

 snail Lmnuea pereijra from various ponds and streams in the adja- 

 cent counties, to show the great variation obtaining in both size 

 and colour even in waters of the same district. 



Mr. Dennis exhibited a large number of photographs of plant- 

 galls. 



Mr. E. E. Green exhibited (1) a series of miscellaneous Coccidae, 

 (2) microscope slides of Coccidae, (3) some drawings of Ceylon 

 Coccidae, being a portion of the illustrations for his projected work 

 " The Coccidfe of Ceylon." 



Mr. Edwards exhibited living larvte of Tipida oleracea, which 

 had been found in some numbers on a path, probably driven out of 

 the ground by the waterlogged state of the soil. He also showed 

 living larvffi of the stag-beetle, Liicanus cervus. 



Mr. B. W. Adkin exhibited larch bark with extensive gall patches 

 caused by the homopteron Chennes corticalis. The specimens were 

 from Cumberland, where tne insect was doing considerable damage 

 to plantations. He also showed examples of the damage done to the 

 Weymouth pine in South Wales by the attacks of an allied species, 

 Chermes viridis ; and stated that in the latter area a large number 

 of trees had been totally destroyed by the attacks of the coleopteron 

 Hylohiiis ubietia.
