  On 
  returning 
  from 
  the 
  Transvaal, 
  among 
  other 
  insects 
  

   which 
  I 
  found 
  had 
  been 
  sent 
  to 
  me 
  during 
  my 
  absence, 
  

   I 
  had 
  the 
  pleasure 
  to 
  discover 
  four 
  new 
  species 
  of 
  the 
  

   genus 
  Fulgora, 
  or 
  the 
  true 
  so-called 
  " 
  lantern 
  flies," 
  de- 
  

   scriptions 
  of 
  which 
  I 
  now 
  beg 
  to 
  lay 
  before 
  the 
  Society.
