Mr. Yarrell exhibited a quill from the wing of a Harpy Eagle, 

 which had died while in the Menagerie of the Earl of Derby, and 

 which was found upon examination to be infested with a great 

 number of a species of Pediculus. It appeared that these minute 

 creatures had chosen for their place of retreat the hollow of the 

 large quill- feathers ; and the specimens forwarded to Mr. Yarrell by 

 the President were filled with their exuvice ; two circular apertures 

 situated near the base of the quill afforded the animals access to its 

 interior. 



A specimen of the White-bait presented to the Society by Mr, 

 Williams, was exhibited by Mr. Yarrell in order to show the large 

 size sometimes attained by this species ; its dimensions were as follow : 



Entire length 6 inches. 



Depth, measured about midway between the dorsal fin and the 

 extremity of the head, 1 inch 2 lines. 



A collection of insects were upon the table which had been col- 

 lected at Manilla by Mr. Cuming, at whose request Mr. West- 

 wood had furnished the following descriptions of some of the more 

 interesting species for insertion in the Society's Proceedings.
