Our most indefatigable of workers, Mr. J. Eardley Mala: 
got together the following list : — 
HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA. Gerris gibbifera Schum. Sener 
aa ears er interstinctum L. Gerris lacustris L.

Many Corixe also from the lakes not yet examined. The extra- 
ordinary abundance of Perttrechus luniger, which swarmed under 
Capsidz, the most numerous family of the order. They feed on 
the sap, and many plants have species peculiar to themselves 
alone, but none were taken after diligent search save the first 
on the list. The rest find their food in other insects. 
The Spiders taken on this occasion were not very numerous

The two Societies joined at a convivial high-tea at the 
Saracen’s Head Hotel. After the usual reports on the day’s

broke up into chatty groups, comparing anaes or reviving :old
