 the belly enlarged, the eyes opened and became bright, and the skin 

 beneath the mouth began to puff up and down. He now put himself into 

 a better position, and in a short time began to hop away, but slowly and 

 weakly. All this took place in about one hour. In about a fortnight I saw 

 him again all right. — H. J. Harding ; 131, Loiver Street, Deal.

• Exhibitions, dc. 



Mr. Higgins exhibited collections of exotic insects from Natal and 

 Borneo. In the former were magnificent examples of several of the larger 

 South-African Bombyces, bred from the larvte ; and he also exhibited a 

 series of figures of these larvae, executed by what was described to him as a 

 " chromo-photographic process," the figures having evidently been obtained 

 by means of photography, and presenting their natural colours.
