fresh flowers. He then showed the degree of mutual adaptation among 
the several classes which he comj)ared with the results obtained by 
Loew in Europe. 
^Iv. Brues then exhibited two species of insects. One, Jynotus 
(nriffiiKiticHs, was a peculiar beetle of very anomalous structure which 
has ])uzzled s\'stematists since its discovery several years ago. The 
specimens exhibited had been found feeding on some dried Echinoderms 
in the Public ^Fusenm. This was the second time that the species has 
been collected, its original habitat being unknown, but probably the** 
West Indies. The second was a new species of wingless fly belonging 
to the genus Pulic'iphora, recently bred from cattle tick eggs by the 
United States Deioartmeiit of Agriculture, and sent him for identifica- 
tion, ^fr. Teller then exhibited some specimens of a rare fossil
