Mr. PERINGUEY exhibited some insects found in the kernels of the 
fruit of a cicad-—Encephelatos spec—Grahamstown. The female had the 
rostrum very fully developed, while the male had not. This enabled 
her to pierce the fruit to lay her eggs in. 
This insect had previously been supposed to be scarce, but its habitat 
in this fruit—called here Kaffir bread—had not been suspected, and 
Mr. Péringuey had now found great numbers. 
The insect is a weevil—Antharrhinus zamie.
