Mr. Malcolm Burr exhibited a porcelain model of a grass- 

 hopper. It was received from China, and was a very clever 

 imitation, the minute parts even to the tarsi being present ; 

 but the species it represented was not determined. He 

 also exhibited a specimen of every large group of the 

 Orthoptera, together with various species to show their 

 protective resemblance. 



Mr. Edwards exhibited numerous species to illustrate 

 his paper entitled " A Few Notes on the Group Orthoptera." 

 Among them were a considerable number of specimens from 

 British North Borneo. One box contained some very fine 

 species of Mantidse, another had representatives of most of 

 the sections of the Phasmidse, and a third was chiefly 

 devoted to specimens of the Locustidae, including several 

 species of the curious stick-like Proscopidae which so much 

 resemble the Phasmids.
