had ever seen. It comprised nearly all the British Pyrales and Crambi,
and all the Tortrices with the exception of a dozen or eighteen species
practically unprocurable. Each moth was set on a silver pin. and then
mounted on little slabs of artichoke pith. These slabs were stuck again
with a stouter pin so as to avoid damage on removal of the specimens.
Every insect was accurately named, with full data. Mr. Cole added that
the above collections were a valuable and instructive addition to the
museum.
Dalyellia diadema Hoftsten.—Mr. Henry Whitehead, B.Sc., exhibited
Essex specimens of this Turbellarian. The species appears to have been
recorded only once before, viz., in the Bernese Alps. Mr. Whitehead gave
some particulars of this interesting form. (See "Notes.")
A Lecture was given by Mr. Hazzledine Warren, F.G.S., on "Pre-
historic Art." The lecture was abundantly illustrated by lantern slides.
A cordial vote of thanks was given to Mr. Warren for his exceedingly
interesting lecture.
Dr. Alexander Graham gave a demonstration by means of actual
specimens and drawings on the blackboard of points in the structure of
the human skull, as compared with the skull of Eoanthropus dawsoni
shown to the members by Dr. Smith Woodward, at the Meeting at the
British Museum on 12th April last. The demonstration was of too
detailed a nature to be reported upon without the aid of drawings.
The President pointed out the very interesting nature of Dr. Wood-
ward's and Dr. Graham's discussions, and a vote of thanks was passed to
Dr. Graham.
It was announced that our Member, Mr. Fred Enock, F.L.S., had
presented to the Library over 300 pamphlets and reports relating to
economic entomology.

points on the Northern boundary of Essex.
The conductors were Mr. W. Whitaker, F.R.S., Mr. G. Morris, B.Sc.,
Mr. Guy Maynard, and others.
The assembly was at Audley End station at 9.45 a.m. Here a group
photograph was taken, and entering brakes the party drove up the Cam
Valley. Opposite Audley End House a halt was made, and, without
alighting, Mr. Guy Maynard pointed out the ancient Guest House, British
Camp, etc., and explained the original forward extension of the Mansion
towards the water edge.
At Littlebury a stop was made to inspect the base of a church-yard or
village cross now inserted in front of Gate House Farm. This showed a
curious design of a flowering heart, the Tudor Rose, and two kneeling
