June 20.— E. Forster, Esq., V.P., in the Chair. 



Read a Postscript to Mr. Newport's paper on Pteronarcys regalis. 



The author referred to the paper already read to show that the 

 genus Pteronarcys ought to be arranged after Perla, and before 

 Capnia and Nemoura, which it most nearly approaches in the struc- 

 ture of its alimentary canal ; while Perla has affinities with the 

 Orthoptera through the Blattidte. The Perla arenosa of Pictet was 

 regarded as making the nearest approach to the latter family, and 

 this species was shown to be the Perla abnormis of Newman. The 

 larva and pupa of this species were described from specimens taken 

 by Mr. Barnston in Canada, and now in the British Museum, and the 

 habits of the species were detailed as observed by that gentleman. 



The generic characters of Pteronarcys were proposed to be revised 

 as follows : —
