 was much above the average.

Colonel C. Swinhoe exhibited, and remarked on, types of genera and 

 species of moths belonging to the Tineina, all of which had been described 

 by the late Francis Walker, and placed by him amongst the Lithosidce. 



Mr. H. Goss exhibited specimens of Callimorpha hera, taken in August 

 last by Major-General Carden in South Devon, and observed that the 

 species appeared to be getting commoner in this country, as Gen. Carden 

 had caught seventeen specimens in five days. Mr. Goss said that the object 

 of the exhibition was to ascertain the opinion of the meeting as to the 

 manner in which this species had been introduced into this country. A 

 long discussion on this subject and on the geographical distribution of the 

 species ensued, in which Mr. G. T. Baker, Mr. Stevens, Mr. Barrett, 

 Colonel Swinhoe, Mr. McLachlan, Mr. Verrall, Capt. Elwes, Mr. Fenn, 

 Mr. Jacoby and others took part. 



Mr. C. J. Gahan contributed a paper entitled " On South American 

 species of Diabrotica : an Appendix to Part II." 



Mr. McLachlan contributed a paper entitled " Descriptions of new 

 species of holopthalmous Ascalaphidce." 



Mr. W. L. Distant communicated a paper entitled " Descriptions of four 

 new species of the genus Fulgora." 



Mr. F. Enock read a paper entitled " Additional notes and observations 

 on the life-history of Atypus piceus." Every detail in the life-history of this 

 spider was most elaborately illustrated by a large number of photographs, 

 made by Mr. Enock from his original drawings, and shown by means of 

 the oxy-hydrogen lantern. A discussion followed, in which Mr. C. 0. 

 Waterhouse, Dr. Sharp, Mr. G. C. Champion, the Rev. A. E. Eaton, Mr. P. 

 Crowley, and others took part. — H. Goss, Hon. Secretary.
