Hind wings very small, with one large elongated limpid spot. Length of the body 6 lines; of the wings 14 lines.
This is most allied to S. separabilis, from which it may be distinguished by the absence of the basal spot of the fore wings.
32. SYNTOMIS EXPANDENS, n. s. Mas. Cyaneo-purpurea, antennis apice humeris tarsisque basi albis, alis anticis maculis sex contiguis limpidis, posticis minimis macula una elongata limpida.

Histological Observations on the Eye of the Cod-fish (Morrhua vulgaris), with especial reference to the Choroid Gland and the Cones of the Retina. By T. SPENCER COBBOLD, M.D., F.L.S., Lecturer on Botany, Zoology, and Comparative Anatomy at the Middlesex Hospital College.
[Read March 6th, 1862.]
BY introducing observations of this kind to the Linnean Society I am aware that I am treading a well-beaten path; but as there are still many points connected with the minute anatomy of the vertebrate eye which remain to be solved, I trust that the facts and opinions which I proceed to bring under the Society's notice will obtain due consideration.
With the exception of Mr. Nunneley's researches, most of the recent investigations into the minute structure of the eyeball have been made after the organ in question had been steeped for a longer or shorter time in chromic-acid solutions; and from this circumstance I think we have been frequently led into error as regards the precise character of the ultimate elements of the organ, although, in the hands of Hannover, Kölliker, and Heinrich Müller more especially, the relations of the component layers of the eyeball have been most satisfactorily determined.
To take the vitreous humour, for example, it is quite clear that Hannover's views (published in Müller's 'Archiv' for 1845) as to
