In Strombid.^: one of the two specimens known of Eostellaria 
Martinii (IVIarrat) ; and a fine E. Powisii (Petit) from China. 
In Murtcidje Murex hipinnatns (Eeeve) the type. M. cervicornis 
(Lam), Stainforthii (Eeeve), Huttonse (Wright), falcatus (Sowb), clavus 
(Kiener), &c., and an almost complete set of the genns Typhis, including 
two unique types, T. expansus (Sowb), and T. duplicatus (Hinds), both 
being figured in the Conchologia Iconica. 
Several representatives of other marine Gasteropoda — mostly types, 
were also shown ; and in the Conchif era, a selection of the genus Pecten, 
including a fine series of ten varieties of P. pallium, (L.) and the type 
specimens of P. loxoides (Sowb and Melvill), P. Sybillse (Sowb and 
Melvill), P. rubidus (Hinds), and others. 
(ii.) Seven drawers of exotic Coleoptera, containing the families 
CetoniadsB and Eutelidae, both belonging to the Lamellicornes. 
Amongst these were the large Goliathus Beetles, G. Druryi (West- 
wood) and Cacicus (Volt) and their allies Ceratorhina and Ehombor- 
HiNA, of which, perhaps, C. Savagei (Harris), C, Derbyana (Westwood), 
and E. (Jumnos) Euckeri (Saund), are the most conspicuous. 
A fine set of the Madagascar forms, which differ almost in toto from 
those of the corresponding African coasts — noticeable amongst these 
were Parachilia bufo (G. and P.), Anochilia princeps (Burm), Boryscelis 
calcarata (King), and various species of Coptomia. 
There were also some fine Lomaptera (e.g., Jamesii) and Macronota, 
all Malayan and New Guinea forms. 
Perhaps the most conspicuous insect among the Eutelid^ is the 
frosted green Chrtsophora chrysochlora (Latr), from Chili, with unduly 
large hind legs in the male, ornamented with gold and ruby reflections. 
The species of Anoplognathus are also very brilliaht, especially the 
A. Grayanus (White). 
(iii.) Twenty-eight selected drawers of exotic Ehopalocera (Butterflies) 
of the orders Papilionid^, Ntmphalid^, and Ltcjenid^. 
Noteworthy amongst the Papilio were the giant Ornithoptbra, or 
Bird Wing Butterflies, of which were shown specimens of the males of 
O. Brookeana, both sexes of Priamus (L,), Croesus (Wallace), D’Ur- 
villeana (Guer), &c. 
O. Croesus, a large golden yellow and black butterfly, measuring seven 
inches in expanse of wings, is perhaps the finest butterfly known, a 
native of the Island of Batchian, where it was discovered by Mr. A E. 
Wallace. 
P. Antenor (Drury), three specimens, conspicuous for bold outline of 
wing, spotted colouring and orange antennse, from Madagascar. 
Several specimens of P. Ulysses (L.), bright metallic blue and black, 
and its allies — contrasted with the brilliant green of P. Dsedalus, (Feld), 
Buddha (Westwood), Crino (Fabr), Montanus (Feld), Arjuna (Horsf), &c.
