Mr. Hewitson forwarded a note respecting a paper by Mr. Butler in 
the first part of the ‘ Transactions’ for 1875, in which it was suggested 
respecting Netrocoryne beata and N. denitza, that Hewitson’s figures of 
those species [Exot. But., vol. v.] were wrongly numbered. Mr. Hewitson 
said they were numbered quite correctly, and that he believed they would 
be found to be the sexes of N. beata. 
The President stated that this was the last meeting that would be held 
at Burlington House; and that due notice would be given to the members 
when the arrangements at the new Rooms of the Society at 11, Chandos 
Street, Cavendish Square, were completed ; the Library having been already 
removed to that place. 
Mr. Dunning proposed and Mr. M‘Lachlan seconded a cordial vote of 
thanks to the Linnean Society for the permission to hold the meetings at 
their Rooms, so long enjoyed by the Entomological Society.. This was 
carried by acclamation.—F’. G.

by being a little less learned; for instance, “egg” should not be latinized 
into “ova,” neither is “larva” so explicit as “caterpillar.” I prefer in- 
finitely the word “‘chrysalis” to “pupa,” which means a wench, damsel, 
girl or baby; and the word “ chrysalis” is classical as well as scientific: it 
is used by Pliny for this particular state of an insect and for nothing else : 
the old word was “‘ puppa,” spelt thus with two p’s, as those who possess a 
copy of Haworth will find, but even that is greatly inferior in elegance 
and correctness to “ chrysalis.” And again I would never use the word 
“imago” for the perfect insect; and as for the word “imagos”—I know 
not whether meant for singular or plural—I may safely say that there is no
