ranges, with P. cordatus, Jerdon, (a species which the Society has 

 received from Tenasserim as well as from Southern India), and with 

 the Malayan P. concretus, Tem., in the subgenus Hemicircus, Swainson ; 

 — a new Partridge (P. Phayrei, Nobis), closely resembling in plumage 

 the Pintado Partridge of the Mauritius ( Francolinus perlatus), but 

 of a less robust form, and the male armed with well developed spurs, — 

 two fine new Herons, one of them, however, perhaps the Ardea arde- 

 siaca of Wagler, &c. In previous collections, Capt. Phayre has also 

 enriched the Society's museum with a new Manis, and various other 

 interesting species.

In a recent communication to Mr. Blyth, Capt. Hutton remarks, of 

 this insect, that — " This year has shewn me that I committed an error 

 in saying that the larvae come forth in December or January, — as I 

 have now found them in crowds so early as the middle of November, 

 and, from their size and the quantity of wax then deposited, they must 

 have been hatched so early as the beginning of October. The so-called 

 wax, is apparently a species of manna, and it certainly has much the 

 taste of it. I want to ascertain, therefore, if it might not be useful in 

 medicine."
