Sept. 3. — Among the exhibitions was a small collection of 

 Coleoptera from Jamaica made by Mr. (xloyne. In reference to the 

 Ailanthus silk-worm, Prof. Westwood said that he had found wasps 

 very destructive to the young caterpillars. Mr. Trimen communi- 

 cated a paper on the Butterflies of the Mauritius. This portion of 

 the fauna of that island appears to be of decidedly African origin, 

 most of the species being identical with those found in South Africa 

 and Madagascar. There were only twenty-five species. Mr. F. 

 Smith read an account of a collection of Hymenoptera — mostly 

 Bees — sent to him from Catagallo, in Brazil. It contained the 

 female of Trigona, the male only of that genus having been pre- 

 viously known ; in the gravid state their abdomens were enormously 

 distended, and in this respect they bore a remarkable similarity to 

 the same sex of the white Ants {Termes). 



In consequence of the new arrangement with reference to the 

 Meetings of this Society at Burlington House, no meeting was held 

 in October. 



Nov. 5. — Mr. Janson exhibited some rare Coleoptera from Tas- 

 mania. Mr. Stainton exhibited a collection of Tineina from Asia 

 Minor and Syria. Some large galls from the elm, supposed to be 

 formed by Aphides, were shown by Mr. F. Smith. A singular case 

 or covering of a species of Coccus, resembling a small limpet-shell 

 (Patella), from Port Lincoln, was sent for exhibition by Mr. Angas. 

 The President (Sir J. Lubbock) brought under the notice of the 

 meeting specimens and drawings of a new Myriapod found in his 

 grounds at High Elms; it was remarkable for its small size, and 

 for having only nine pans of legs ; it was proposed to be called 

 Paurojms. 



The Kev. Douglas Timins communicated a note " On the 

 Habits of Argynnis Lathonia, in the north of France." Mr. 

 M'Lachlan read a paper " On new Genera and Species oiPsocidm." 

 Mr. E. Saunders read a paper, entitled " Descriptions of Six New 

 Species of Bujprestidde, belonging to the Chalcojih orioles of 

 Lacordaire." 



Nov. 19. — Mr. Stainton exhibited drawings and specimens of 

 the Stathmopoda Guerinii, bred from Aphides galls found on the 

 Pistacia terebinthus, and sent by Dr. Staudinger from Celles-les-
