Exhibitions, d&c. 
Mr. Bond exhibited, on behalf of Mr. N. Cooke, of Liscard, near Birken- 
head, a female variety of Hepialus humuli, pale in colour, and with the 
usual markings; three fine specimens of Crymodes exulis; fifteen very fine 
dark (some nearly black) specimens of Epunda lutulenta; and six specimens 
of the new Tortrix, Sericoris irriguana. All the above were taken near Loch 
Laggan this season. 
Mr. Stevens mentioned that a specimen of Callimorpha Hera (the Jersey 
tiger-moth) had been taken at St. Margaret's Bay, near Dover. 
The Secretary read a note from the Rey. Fitzroy Kelly Lloyd, of Pitten- 
weem, N. B., enclosing for inspection a worm measuring two inches in 
length, extracted from the abdomen of an earwig. Mr. Pascoe said that it 
was one of the Nematode worms, and was probably a Filaria. 
Mr. Forbes exhibited a weevil (evidently not indigenous to Britain), taken 
alive amongst some Orchids at Highgate, supposed to have been imported 
from Ecuador. Mr. Pascoe pronounced it to be a Cholus. He subse- 
quently gave the following diagnosis, under the name of 
Cuotus ForBEsIt. 
C. ovatus, niveo-squamatus, maculis nudis aterrimis variegatus, quarum 
una in medio elytrorum majuscula, supra rugoso-punctatus ; rostro 
pedibusque fortiter punctatis. Long. (rostr. excl.) 5 lin.
