MEETINGS. 421 



Mr. W. A. LnfF exhibited some living larvae of the 

 Jersey Tiger Moth ( Callimorpha Hera) which was not rare in 

 the perfect state in this island, but the larva3 were very seldom 

 seen. 



Mr. E. D. Marquand read a paper by the Rev. Canon A. 

 Norman, F.R.S., lately published on the Crustacea of the 

 Channel Islands, and made some remarks upon the species 

 catalogued. The main portion of this paper is printed in the 

 present Transactions. Mr. J. Sinel followed up the subject 

 by an instructive extempore lecture on the metamorphoses of 

 certain crabs and barnacles, illustrated by capital sketches on 

 the blackboard. 



Mr. A. Collenette took this opportunity, as Curator of 

 the Aluseum, to call attention to the rich local collections of 

 Crustacea, shells, insects and other objects to be seen in the 

 Museum. During the last few years these had been classified 

 and arranged so as to be of real educational value. 



Mr. J. S. Hocart read a short paper on Le Gibet des 

 Faies, and La Fontaine des Faies, at Lancresse, which like 

 many other interesting spots were rapidly passing out of 

 recollection. 



Owing to pressure of time, a paper by the Editor of the 

 Star on Old Guernsey Legends, was postponed for reading at 

 a future meeting. 



The Chairman said the present meeting concluded the 

 session. No programme had been considered yet for summer 

 excursions, but if any were arranged, the members would 

 receive due notice. 



Monthly Meeting held on October 21st, 1908, Mr. E. D.

 ant-Governor of Guernsey, Rev. P. Mesny, Rector of the 

 Catel, Mr. N. W. Priaulx, and Advocate W. H. Foote, were 

 unanimously elected members of the Society. 



The Secretary reported that another cist had been 

 unearthed in St. Saviour's Churchyard ; as usual, it was 

 empty, but the Rector, Rev. J. H. Bibby, had carefully 

 preserved the stones in position. 



Mr. Collenette exhibited some bones recently found in 

 the sand at Moulin Huet by Mr. H. Barker. They consisted 

 of the backbone, ribs, leg, and a portion of the skull of a dog, 

 and examination had proved them to belong to an animal of 

 quite recent times. The finder, however, deserved their
