Mr. S. Stevens exhibited a minute species of Hylesinus, together 
with a piece of bark, showing the mining habits of the preparatory 
states of this beetle. 
Mr. Westwood exhibited both sexes of two species of the genus 
Ynca, Y. Sommeri (a new species closely allied to Y. Fabricii, if it 
be not a geographical variety thereof,) and Y. Beskii, from tropical 
America, sent to him from Hamburgh by M. C. Sommer, Esq. 
He likewise exhibited specimens of a species of Cossonus found in 
great numbers imbedded in a black brittle mass of matter, discovered 
in the interior of a barrow recently opened in Lancashire, and ac- 
companied by notes from the Rev. Mr. Sibson, by whom they had 
been communicated to Dr. Holme of Manchester. Likewise draw- 
ings of the transformations of an Indian species of Anthrenus, and 
of Paussus (Ceratoderus) bifasciatus, Kollar, forwarded to him by 
Captain Boys.
