without observations taken by the thermometer. Dr. Dixey, 
Mr. Barrett, and Dr. Sharp continued the discussion.

ExJiibitions. 
Mr. Horace St. J. Donisthorpe exhibited a variety of 
Rhagium bifasciatum, a Longicorn Beetle, taken in the New 
Forest, in which the elytra were of a light testaceous colour. 
Mr. Waterhouse exhibited a living larva of a Longicorn 
Beetle found in a boot-tree which had been in constant use 
by the owner for fourteen years, the last seven of which 
were spent in . India. The specimen was brought to the 
British Museum on May 6th, 1890, and was put into a 
block of beech wood in which it had lived ever since ; it did 
not appear to have altered in any way during these five years. 
It had burrowed about eight inches, and probably made its 
exit accidentally. Mr. Blandford referred to a similar case 
which had come under his notice.
