The specimens exhibited were captured on a sandy flat between Leura and 

 Katoomba, Blue Mts., during the last summer; in this locality it seems to 

 take the place of Oe. marmoratus. — Mr. H. S. Mort exhibited specimens 

 of two species of Mollusca from Long Bay, namely, Eulima articulata, Sowb., 

 a new record for New South Wales; and Pedicularia stylasteris, Hedley, a 

 new record for Sydney. — Dr. R. Greig Smith exhibited a series of gum- 

 med fruits, and sections of stems and branches in illustration of his paper. 

 — Mr. Waterhouse exhibited 1) representatives of 100 species of Austra- 

 lian Lycaenidae from his own and the Macleay Collections. 2) Specimens of 

 Euschemon rafflesia, Macl., and its pupa, an insect considered by some ento- 

 mologists to be a butterfly, by others a moth. Its Rhopalocerous characters 

 are hooked, clubbed antennae; palpi and method of flight as in the Hes- 

 peridae\ larva with a dark hard head; pupa slightly fastened by the tail and 

 enclosed in a sheath formed by drawing two leaves together. Its Heteroce- 

 rous characters are the presence of a frenulum, and its method of resting 

 with wings outstretched (as is the case in the undoubted Hesperid genera 

 Phoenicops and Netrocoryne). 3) A pair (çfQ) of Telesto monticolae, Olliff, 

 from Walhalla, Victoria, bolonging to Mr. G. Lyell. The only previous re- 

 cord is that of two specimens (q^) from Mt. Kosciusko. The female is as yet 

 undescribed. — Mr. Kesteven exhibited, on behalf of Mr. W. J. Rainbow, 

 and by permission of the Curator, specimens of Ogyris idino, Hew., and O. 

 barnardi, Misk., (not represented in Mr. Waterhouse' s exhibit), from the 

 Australian Museum Collection. — Mr. J. J. Walker offered some remarks 

 upon the interesting character of Mr. Waterhouse' s exhibit of Euschemon 

 rafflesia. Notwithstanding the absence of the frenulum, he considered the 

 insect to be undoubtedly a butterfly, and from the characters of the pupa to 

 be regarded as referable to the family Hesperidae.
