Exhibitions, dc. 

 Mr. Muller exhibited the following specimens, which he had found on a 

 recent visit to some hmestone caves in the Jurassian Mountains : — 



1 . A blind Myriapod, found on decayed trunks of trees carried into the 

 cave by floods. 



2. A minute Podura, which had, however, become quite shrivelled. 



3. A species of Hsemalastor, Koch (a genus of Schusselzecken) mentioned 

 by Kolenati in ' Die Parasiten d. Chiroptern ' (Dresden, 1857). Mr. Muller 

 did not observe any bats in the cave, but the insect was creeping on one 

 of the stalactites, from which it dropped into his hand. He believed it was 

 the first time that any bhnd specimens had been found in the caves of 

 Switzerland. 



Mr. Kirby exhibited a specimen of Lycsena Phoebe, from Australia, 

 described by the Rev. R. P. Murray, in the 'Entomologist's Monthly 

 Magazine ' for October last. It was stated to be quite distinct from Lyctena 

 Erinus, Fah., figured by H.-SchtefFer under that name, though closely 

 allied thereto. 



The Secretary read extracts from a letter from Mr. W. D. Gooch, of 

 Spring Vale, Natal, on the destruction of the coffee plantations there by a
