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

 Meeting this evening the following are exhibited for the first time, 

 yiz. . — Papilio maackii and Sericinus telamon from Eastern Siberia ; 

 Thais cerisyi, var. deyrollei. and Doritis apollinus from Syria ; Antho- 

 charis eupheno and Deilephila nictsa from the South of France ; 

 Deilephila alecto from Syria; Anisota stigma from N. America; 

 and Triccena maxima from India. 



The specimens of Deilephila niccea and Deilephila alecto were 

 reared from pupae deposited in the Insect-house by the Hon. Walter 

 Rothschild, F.Z.S. The specimen of Triccena maxima is the only 

 one that emerged from several pupse kindly sent by Mr. J. G. 

 Gammie, of Monghoo, Kurseong, near DarjeeUng, through Mr. W. L. 

 Sclater, F.Z.S. With these pupse many other pupae and cocoons 

 were sent, but I am sorry to say nearly all emerged en route. 

 Amongst those that arrived in good condition were some cocoons of 

 Cricula trifenestrata, from which moths emerged in due course. 



* Exhibited for the first time.
