By Mr. HONEYWELL : 



(ii.) Photograph of a stone from Lnlworth Cove, containing what bore 

 a strong resemblance to a fossil fish, but was more probably a mark in 

 the stone of peculiar shape. 



By the HON. TREASURER : 



(iii. ) A pear covered with a scale insect, Mytilaspis pomorum Bouche 

 (= linearis, Geoffrey). 



This scale occurs in N. Zealand, America, Teneriffe (at 7,000 to 8,000ft. 

 on Cyiisus nubigenus), and Guernsey. It is found on apple, elm, ling, 

 and broom. Up to June, 1893, the male scale had not been observed in 

 this country. It was found in Guernsey on broom on May 7th, 1893 

 (Entomologist's Monthly Magazine, xxvi., 226 ; xxix., 138). In Ento- 

 mologist's Monthly Magazine, xxxi., 85, there is a record of lour 

 specimens (with other Coccidce) found in the stomachs of the blue and 

 long-tailed tits, and the tree creeper and marsh tit have been seen 

 eating them. The male scale has lately been found in plenty in England. 

 By Miss DANSEY : 



(iv.) Two gold armlets weighing about 3oz. and loz. respectively, 

 which had been found on the Chesil Beach, near Portland. These 

 excited considerable discussion, and several theories were propounded. 

 The larger one, which is plain except for a very little lattice work 

 ornamentation near each end, has been pronounced at the British 

 Museum to be early British in make. 



By Mr. E. CUNNINGTON : 



(v.) The Humerus of a Cimoliosaurns from the Cornbrash at Radipole. 

 (Presented to the Museum.) 



(vi.) A leaf, measuring 2ft. x 1ft., of Melianthus, a Sicilian ragwort, 

 growing 12ft. high with purple and yellow flowers. 



(vii.) Flints from Agglestone. 



By the HON. SECRETARY : 



(viii.) Three drawers of moths from the Museum Collection. 

 By the Rev. O. M. RIDLEY : 



(ix.) A leaflet on the Codlin moth (Carpocapsa pomonana), the larva 

 of which was so destructive to apples. 



By F. J, BECKFORD, Esq. : 



(x.) Two square gunflints dredged up by himself from the wreck of the 

 Royal Adelaide off Portland, which was wrecked about SO years ago. 

 These flints were specially interesting from the fact that a sort of skin 

 or patina had formed on them, as on ancient flints, doubtless partly 

 caused by the action of the sea-water, giving them thereby a much more 

 antique appearance than properly belonged to them.
