In this address the author dwelt especially upon the vast number of new species of 

 animals of all orders continually accumulating in our collections, and the necessity 

 for an union of talent for their investigation, not only with the object of rendering 

 them known, but also for studying the relations of affinity and analogy, their habits 

 and structure, and he dwelt especially on the necessity of pursuing the branch of 

 comparative anatomy.

The following are the new genera described in this paper: — 1. Hexagonia (fam. 



Lebiadae). 2. Megasoma (fam. Dynastidae, type Scarabaeus Actaeon,&c.) 3. Archon 



(fam. Dynastidae). 4. Genuchus (Cetoniadae, allied to Cremastocheilus). 5. Schi- 



zorhina, type Cetonia atropunctata, Kirby, Linn. Trans, xii. Australia). 6. Gnatho- 



cera (allied to Cetonia, type Cetonia vitticollis, Latr.)

This paper commences with some observations on the utility of uniform termina- 

 tions for the primary divisions of Orders, and gives an account of the " havoc and 

 confusion " which had been made in the nomenclature of the primary groups into 

 which the Linnean genus had been divided, approving of Dr. Leach's restitution of 

 the name Locusta to the real locusts of the ancients, but proposing in lieu of Conoce- 

 phalus, by which Leach designated the Locustoe of Fabricius and Geoffroy, the names 

 of Acrida, Conocephalus and Pterophylla. He adds a short generic and specific 

 character of Scaphura Vigorsii, a new genus which connects these genera with the 

 Locustidae (Gryllus, Fab.), and proposes some alterations in the employment of the 

 generic names Cicada, Tettix and Tettigonia.

 These remarks are very few, chiefly correcting the reference of his previous de- 

 scription to the tribe of Locustina of MacLeay, instead of his Gryllina. A full 

 description is added of the Scaphura Vigorsii, from Brazil, illustrated by figures.

 These very large mandibles were taken from a string of beads and other trinkets, 

 brought from New Zealand, and "appear to have belonged either to a Lucanus or a 

 Prionus.''
