MEETINGS OF SECTIONS. 
BOTANICAL SECTION. 
Thursday, March 27th. — Mr. J. W. Clarke in the Chair. 
The attendance of members was small, and the evening was devoted to 
working at the Society's herbarium. 
It was subsequently arranged that the first Botanical walk of the season 
should take place on May 20th, with the Entomological Section. 
ENTOMOLOGICAL SECTION. 
Tuesday, April 9th, 1867.— Mr. Stephen Barton, President of 
the Section, in the chair. 
The President exhibited, on behalf of Mr. Leipner, a specimen and 
cocoon of a rare Hymenopterous insect, Trichiosoma Laterale. This 
insect is figured in Curtis, vol. 3, plate 49. The cocoon from which this 
insect was bred was found attached to a spray of hawthorn ; the cocoon 
much resembled the common hawthorn-feeding species. 
The Rev. W. W. Spicer exhibited a living specimen of Machilis poly- 
poda, a species in the Apterous division of the Orthoptera, of comparatively 
rare occurrence. This species was captured by Mr. Spicer at Leigh, under 
stones. 
It was determined that the first excursion of the section should take 
place on May 13th, to Leigh Woods ; members to meet at the Suspension 
Bridge at three o'clock. This was subsequently postponed to May 20th. 
It was also arranged that several evening meetings for collecting should 
take place during the present month.
