which a " species " had been described from a single female specimen in 

 bad condition. Mr. Blandford explained the system of labelling types in 

 the Brussels Museum. Dr. Sharp, Prof. Meldola, Mr. McLachlan, and 

 Prof. Poulton continued the discussion. 



Mr. Blandford exhibited a series of lantern-slides showing the uses to 

 which photography could be put in entomological illustration. The photo- 

 graphs shown included various Saturniidce, Vanessidce, species of Mamestra, 

 Tipida, Ophion, Carabus, Lucanus, Sitones, &c, as well as one or two 

 examples of insect-injury, and a view in Windsor Park showing oaks 

 defoliated by Tortrix viridana. 



Prof. Poulton read a paper " On the Courtship of certain European 

 Acr'ddidce" from observations made in exceedingly favourable weather at the 

 end of August and beginning of September last. He was much indebted 

 to Mr. F. J. H. Jenkinson, of Cambridge, and Mr. F. V. Dickens for many

 were almost all made in the neighbourhood of the Weisshorn Hotel, high

 to name the species referred to in the paper.

 tricince, and Pyralince." — H. Goss, Hon. Secretary.

To the members of the Boone and Crockett Club is due the 

 credit of having secured, by Act of the New York Legislature, 

 the incorporation of the New York Zoological Society, as well as 

 an Act to protect the Yellowstone National Park, and to punish 

 crimes and offences within its area, where, it may be remembered, 

 such wanton slaughter of Bison took place in March, 1894. 

 When it is stated that this so-called " Park " includes nearly

 the present volume, and the descriptive account by Capt.
