 portion of a walnut attacked by a Lepidopterous larva, probably a Tor- 

 trix, but he was unable to name the species, as it produced only an 

 Ichneumon. It was the first instance he had known of a walnut being 

 attacked by any insect in this country. Mr. M'Lachlan suggested that

 Yuccasella, Riley), of which some fifty specimens had been sent to him, in

 of them. He exhibited a drawing of a portion of the insect, showing the
