Ormerod, Of Spring Grove, Isleworth, was elected a Member. Mr. Grut exhibited, on behalf of the Rev. T. A. Marshall, a collection of insects captured by the latter in the West Indian Islands of Antigua, Martinique, &c. Mr. F. Smith exhibited a series of examples Of a Harvesting Ant, apparently identical with Myrmica barbata, sent to Mr. Darwin from Florida, by Mrs. Mary Treat. These were remarkable for the variation that existed in the teeth of the mandibles, some having acute teeth, others rounded teeth, and in others the teeth were obsolete, but no intermediate conditions were present, and he had no inform ation as to whether the forms inhabited different nests or otherwise.
