PROCEEDINGS OF SCIENTIFIC SOCIETIES. 347 
A communication was read from the Rev. O. P. Cambridge, containing 
an account of some new genera and species of Araneidea. 
Mr. Sclater pointed out the generic divisions of the Bucconide which 
he proposed to adopt in his Monograph of the group now approaching 
completion, and characterised a new species of the family under the name 
Nonnula cineracea. 
Mr. R. Bowdler Sharpe communicated some notes on new or rare 
species of Flycatchers lately added to the collection of the British Museum, 
principally from the Gould collection. The new species described 
were proposed to be called Malurus cyanochlamys, Siphia obscura, and 
Rhipidura Macgillivrayi. 
A second paper by Mr. Sharpe contained an account of several collections 
of birds formed by Mr. W. B. Pryer in the district of Sandakan, in North- 
eastern Borneo. Two new species were described as Lunius Schalowi and 
Diceum Pryeri. 
Lieut.-Col. H. H. Godwin-Austen read the second portion of his paper 
on the Land Shells collected by Prof. J. Bayley Balfour during his recent 
expedition to the Island of Socotra. The present paper contained an 
account of the family Helicacee. 
Mr. G. K. Dobson communicated some notes on certain points in the 
muscular anatomy of the Green Monkey (Cercopithecus callithriz). 
Dr. A. Giinther exhibited and read a description of a specimen of 
Schedophilus medusophagus, a Mediterranean fish new to the British fauna, 
lately captured off the coast of Ireland. 
This meeting closes the present session. There will be no more 
scientific meetings until next November, when the session for 1881-82 will

Mr. J. Jenner Weir, on behalf of Mr. J. W. Douglas, read some notes 
on various Homoptera, and exhibited the specimens referred to. 
Mr. T. R. Billups exhibited a long series of Crabro clavipes, Linn., 
bred this year from Cynips Kollari galls, collected at Wimbledon. Also a 
specimen of Molorchus minor, Linn., taken at Headley Lane on May 9th 
last, feeding on larch. Mr. Billups observed that this Longicorn was 
apparently rare in Britain, as Dr. Power had only met with one specimen, 
this also on larch, and that Mr. Douglas took two at Headley Lane sixteen 
years ago.
