will be easily understood that, wath such long delicate taUs, great 

 care is required in killing and setting them. 



The specimens of Anthercea dione, Cyrtogone herilla, and Jana 

 strigina emerged from a collection of pupae (also from Sierra 

 Leone) deposited in the Insect-house by the Hon. Walter 

 Rothschild. 



The specimens of Attaciis lebeaui were all reared from cocoons 

 received in October to Xovember 1894. The gentleman from 

 whom I obtained them had a pairing of these insects and suc- 

 ceeded in rearing some of the larvae. Of these he sent me four, 

 in their fifth stage, and he informs me that the larvae in the 

 first tlu-ee stages are black with yellow tubercles, in the fourth 

 stage they are green, with the same stripes in the folds of the 

 segments as in the fifth stage, but not quite so well marked, and 

 have besides rows of dorsal and lateral tubercles of a reddish 

 colour. They ate oak, berberis, and privet ; but after the first 

 stage fed entirely upon privet. Of these larvae, I herewith exhibit 

 a sketch, made just before they spun their cocoons. These cocoons, 

 I may add, are much larger than those imported. 



On the 30th of May, 1894, two Goliath Beetles (Goliathus 

 druryi) were presented to the Society by Capt. G. L. Mitchell. 

 They fed principally upon bananas. During life they were a 

 great attraction to visitors. One died on the 24th July and the 

 other on the 21st August, and both specimens were sent to the 

 British Museum. 



Of Orthoptera, a very curious and rare locust, Thlihoscelus 

 camellifolia, was sent home by Mr. Leslie Jeyes, from Manaos 

 on the Amazons, where it is called the " Tanana." It arrived 

 in the Gardens on the 21st of August, but, I am sorry to say, lived 

 only six days. It was very weak on arrival and would not feed, 

 although we got roses (its favourite food) for it. Of this species 

 there is only one specimen in the British Museum. In a wild 

 state Mr. Jeyes says "it sings or chirps through its wings." 

 During life it was of a beautiful pale green colour, and this 

 together with its peculiar shape gave it the appearance of some 

 kind of green fruit. The sender says they are very difficult to 

 obtain dead or alive; it is therefore probable that they are, on 

 account of their shape and colour, not easy to see.

[Eeceived January 21, 1895.] 



One of the few important types of Carnivora the brain of which 

 was not examined by Prof. Mivart ^ is the Glutton. As I have a 

 well-preserved brain of this animal, it may be considered worth while 

 to attempt to fill up this lacuna in our knowledge. We are not,
