Prof. MacOwan exhibited a specimen of the Welwitsckia Mirabilis 

 from Walfish Bay. 



Mr. Trimen exhibited two female specimens of a saturniid moth, 

 Heniocha Grimmia, recently presented to the South African Museum by 

 Mr. W. Ellerton Fry. This species is of much interest, owing to the 

 long period which has elapsed since its original delineation by Hiibner 

 about the year 1820, until its re-discovery in 1889. Hiibner simply 

 noted the insect as a native of South Africa, and as far as Mr. Trimen 

 was aware, no specimen of it had occurred in any collection made since 

 Hlibner's time. The specimens exhibited were taken at Cape 

 Agulhas by the Lighthouse Keeper, Mr. T. Steel, who stated that 

 they flew into the light-room one evening near the beginning of the 

 year 1889. Mr. Trimen had seen Mr. Steel, who had promised to 

 look out for other specimens of Grimmia, and hoped to secure the male 

 insect. 



Prof. MacOwan read Dr. Schonland's paper on Cyphia volubilis. 



Messrs. Trimen, MacOwan, Marloth, Atherstone and Mr. Justice 

 Buchanan made some remarks upon the paper, and the meeting closed 

 with a vote of thanks to Dr. Schonland.
