* Exhibited for tlie first time. 



Of the insects which I have the honour to place before the 

 Meeting this evening the following are exhibited for the first 

 time, viz. : — Caligula jrqwnica, Caligula eucalypti, Deidamia insaripta, 

 Triptogon modesta, Cressonia juglandis, Paonias exccecatus. Sphinx 

 eremita,' and Anisota rubicunda. 



The cocoons of Caligula eucalypti were sent from Australia 

 by Mr. Le Souef, of the Zoological Gardens, Melbourne, and I hope 

 to be able to get more, and to obtain the larvae of this beautiful 

 species. 



Of the five species of American Sphingidse exhibited for the first 

 time, the specimens of Triptogon modesta are worthy of notice.
