THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 939 
W. Oxenden Hammond.—Name of a Beetle.-—Would you 
kindly name the insect of which I send sketch? I know 
nothing of Coleoptera, but it looks as if it came near the 
Longicorns. I found it (or a pair, rather) on an umbelliferous 
flower. They were there two days consecutively; and the 
second day I took them. Very probably it is a common 
insect. Will you kindly say whether it is so or not? 
(Stragallia elongata. Of frequent occurrence on umbel- 
liferous flowers.— Edward Newman.] 
C. Harris —Entozoa in Ox-beef.—The enclosed I found

the whole, of the embryo of some parasite. Is it one of the 
cestoid worms; and is not its occurrence in the flesh of the 
ox veryrare? I should esteem it a great favour if you could 
furnish some information respecting the matter. 
[I cannot answer the question without consulting more 
competent authority.—L. Newman. | 
Sphinx Convolvuli at Bowdon.—Yesterday, September 
23rd, a specimen of Sphinx Convolvuli was taken here.—

Bridge Road.—At the meeting of this Society, held on 
Thursday, August 12th, 1875, Mr. J. R. Wellman proposed 
that a resolution expressive of the deep regret felt by the 
members at the death of the late Mr. Henry Doubleday, 
should be placed on the minutes, and also forwarded to 
Mr. Newman. Mr. Ficklin warmly seconded, and Mr. Power 
supported, the resolution; and, after several members had 
spoken of the great loss that the entomological world has 
sustained, it was unanimously carried. The minute passed is 
as follows :—“ This meeting desires to record the deep regret
