Abstract
LONDON. Linnean Society, June 18.—Prof. E. B. Poulton, president, in the chair.—R. D. Laurie: Reports on the marine biology of the Sudanese Red Sea.—On the Brachyura.—G. Matthai: A revision1 of the recent Colonial Astraidaa possessing distinct corallites.—C. F. M. Swynnerton: Short cuts to nectaries by blue tits. The author referred to his previous account of African ornithophilous flowers, read on March 5 last, and showing photographs of injured shoots of Ribes on the screen.—W. West: Ecological notes, chiefly cryptogamic. This paper was the outcome of a suggestion by Prof. Engler, that whilst abundance of observations existed of ecological facts regarding phanerogams, the cryptogams had been neglected. It was intended as the first of a series, which has been cut short by the death of the author. The observations extend over parts of Scotland, Wales, Ireland, and the Lake District.— R. J. Tillyard: Life-histories and descriptions of Australian Æschninæ, with a description of a new form of Telephebia by Herbert Campion.—Miss Olga G. M. Payne: The life-history and structure of Telephorus lituratus.—A. Gronvelle: Cucujidæ, Cryptophagidæ, avec une description de la larve et de la nymphe de Protominia convexiuscula, Grouvelle.—H. Scott: Mallophaga, Aphaniptera, and Diptera Puparia.
