Sericinus Telmona*. (Cat. Lep. B. M. i. pi. 13. fig. 3.) 

 The fore wings ochraceous, with the base black, and the other 

 black markings placed as in S. Montela, though not quite so 

 prominent, but the short band which crosses the wing just beyond 

 the costal area and the spot on the posterior margin are both orna- 

 mented with a small crimson spot. The hind wings have the inner 

 margin black, and are without the basal spot in the costal area ; the 

 crimson band at the anal angle extends, as in S. Fortunei, to the 

 fifth nervure, and like it also the spot on the anterior margin is orna- 

 mented by a crimson mark, which is more equally placed with the 

 commencement of the crimson band that advances to the anal angle, 

 than in the other species ; the black space at the anal angle is less 

 in size, but is furnished with blue lunes. The under surface of the 

 fore wings is marked like the upper side. That of the hind wings is 

 also similar to the upper side, but the black spots on the anterior 

 margin are both ornamented with crimson ; the lengthened crimson 

 band is marked between the second and third nervures from the anal 

 angle with a white lime, and there is also a less quantity of black at 

 the anal angle. 



This species (male) was also brought to this country with the others 

 by Mr. Fortune, through whose exertions we are thus enabled to de- 

 scribe three additional species of a division which had been hitherto 

 only known by the one figured by Donovan. 



Notes on the Dissection of a species of Galago. By 

 W. H. Flower, Curator to the Middlesex Hospital 

 Museum. 



Having recently had an opportunity of examining the body of a 

 Galago which died in the Society's Gardens, and which I believe to 

 be an undescribed species, I proceed, at the request of the Secretary, 

 to lay before the Society some notes on its anatomy made during the 

 dissection. 



The animal was a male. When I received it the skin was removed, 

 and its dimensions were as follows : — 



in. lin. 



Length of the head and body 91 



of the tail 13J- 



of the head 2 7 



Breadth of the head (at the widest part, viz. the 



malar bones) 1 9 



Length of the humerus 2 3 



of the fore-arm 2 7 



of the hand 1 



of the femur 3 



of the tibia 3 



of the foot 3 



Dentition: — inc. «- ; can. r~i > mol. ~ ' = 34.

* The female of this species is described as Sericinus Greyi, Bretn. & Grey,
