 as the subject of a Prize Essay, was the same as that known in many places as the 

 " scale-insect " or " scale-blight " of the apple. 



The Chairman also called the attention of the Meeting to copies of a Catalogue 

 laid upon the table by Mr. Stainlon, for distribution, intituled, 'Bibliotheca Stephens-

 phens, Esq., F.L.S., which has been preserved entire, and is now removed to Mounts-
