  Mr. 
  C. 
  J. 
  Gaban 
  called 
  attention 
  to 
  a 
  larva 
  which 
  he 
  bad 
  

   exhibited 
  at 
  the 
  meeting 
  of 
  the 
  Society 
  on 
  the 
  1st 
  October 
  

   last, 
  when 
  some 
  doubt 
  was 
  expressed 
  as 
  to 
  its 
  affinities. 
  He 
  

   said 
  that 
  Prof. 
  Kiley 
  and 
  Dr. 
  Packard 
  had 
  since 
  suggested 
  

   that 
  the 
  larva 
  was 
  that 
  of 
  a 
  dipterous 
  insect 
  of 
  the 
  family 
  

   BlepharoceridcB 
  ; 
  he 
  was 
  quite 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  opinion, 
  and 
  thought 
  

   it 
  might 
  probably 
  be 
  referred 
  to 
  H 
  animator 
  rhina 
  bella, 
  Low, 
  

   a 
  species 
  from

  Mr. 
  Keid,

  and 
  

   remarked 
  that 
  this 
  species 
  had 
  been 
  commoner 
  than 
  usual 
  

   last 
  year 
  in 
  Scotland, 
  the 
  Isle 
  of 
  Portland, 
  and
