ASTOUNDING FACT FOR HYMENOP- 
TERISTS AND COLEOPTERISTS. 
TO THE EDITOR OF THE ‘INTELLI- 
GENCER.’ 
Sir, — As your excellent ‘ Intelligencer’ 
is the best vehicle for the rapid commu- 
nication of entomological news, I beg to 
inform you and your readers that I had 
the other day a letter from my friend 
Mr. Nietner, of Ceylon, announcing his 
discovery of a Stylops parasitic in a com- 
mon ant of the island, from the abdomen 
of which he saw it emerge, and desired 
me to make known this interesting fact 
to British entomologists. 
I will send Mr. Nietner’s letter, with 
the accompanying Stylops and ant, to 
Mr. Westwood, and request him to lay 
them before the next meeting of the 
Entomological Society. 
I am, my dear Sir, 
Yours very truly, 
W. Spence.

THE BIRCH WOOD DINNER. 
(On the 9th July the Members of the 
Entomological Chib and their friends, 
held their annual festival at the ‘ Bull 
Inn’ Birch Wood Corner, Edward 
Newman, Esq., F.L.S., in the chair.) 
Ye Muses, help me while I sing 
The Birch VYood Day once more, 
The festival that still takes place 
As it took place of yore. 
Ah ! days of yore, when Newport, great 
Anatomist, came out 
And left his books and microscope 
To join the laugh and shout.
