Annual Exhibition of the Haggerstone Entomological Society, 



A most interesting exhibition of insects took place at the 

 above society's room on the evenings of the 17th and 18th of 

 November last. Six o'clock was the time announced for the 

 opening of the exhibition ; but such was the interest evinced 

 on both evenings, by persons desirous of inspecting the 

 entomological treasures, that some time before that hour 

 visitors began to arrive, and, judging from the crowded state 

 of the room during the two exhibition-nights, it is not at all 

 improbable (should these annual exhibitions be continued) 

 that, at no very distant date, a much larger room will be 

 required, in order to give sufficient accommodation to the 

 visitors, the exhibition this year far excelling those of the 

 two previous years, both as regards the rarity and beauty of 

 the insects shown, the three tables arranged down the centre 

 of the room being entirely covered with glass-cases and 

 boxes containing insects of all orders. As might have been 

 expected the Macro-Lepidoptera were the more numerously 

 represented; the cases of Messrs. Barlow, Bryant, Bush, 

 Clarke, Davis, Harper, Jackson, Lomier, Meek, Kaine, 

 Smith and others contained many beautiful and well-set 

 insects. Among the rarer Lepidoptera submitted to the 

 inspection of the visitors were Pieris Daplidice, Argynnis 

 Lathonia, Vanessa Antiopa, Lycaena Acis, Sesia chrysidifov- 

 mis, S. Philanthiformis, Ophiodes lunaris (the second known 

 British specimen, and captured by its owner, Mr. Smith, at 

 West Wickham Wood, in 1861), Pachnobia alpina, Noto- 

 donla bicolor, Xylina Zinckenii, Dianthoecia capsophila, 

 D. irt'egularis, D. Barrettii, Lythria purpuraria, Agrophila 

 sulphuralis, Noctua ditra})ezium, P. obductella, Dicro- 

 rarnpha flavidorsana, and many others. Many beautiful
