Mr. R. Adkin, F.E.S., in the Chair. 



Mr. Kenneth G. Blair, F.E.S, of Highgate, N., was elected a 

 member. 



Mr. Step exhibited living plants of the rare Orchid, Goodijera 

 repeiiK, from Aberdeenshire. Superficially resembling Spiranthes, 

 the flower structure presents several small differences, but the most 

 obvious departure from the latter genus is seen in the entire 

 absence of tubers, the rootstock of Goodijcra being stemlike, 

 branched and creeping. The flower spike is covered with glandular 

 pubescence, which also extends over the bracts and sepals. In this 

 country it has only a restricted range — from Cumberland in the 

 south to Ross and Ayr in the north. 



Mr. Step, on behalf of Mr. H. Moore, exhibited a fine specimen 

 of the starfish, Astropecten irregularis, recently received from Setubal 

 in Portugal. 



Mr. W. West (Greenwich) exhibited numerous interesting insects 

 taken by him during the past month in the New Forest, including 

 jEgeria spheciformis from Holmesley, a suffused example of 

 Anthrocera trifolii, a short series of Cicadetta montana including a 

 female, which sex is very rarely met with ; a series of the rare 

 Heteropteron, Eysarcoris (eneus, and a number of more or less 

 notable species of Diptera, Hymenoptera and Hemiptera. 



Mr. Stanley Edwards exhibited specimens of the extremely 

 beautiful Stalachtis evelina from the Lower Amazons, and several 

 fine species of the South American genus Mesoseniia (LeDioniina).
