Mr. Stevens read an extract from a letter received from Mr. Wallace, in Borneo, in which he stated that he had taken about 700 Micro-Lepidoptera, among which are some extraordinary developments of palpi, &c. He finds these small moths come in abundance to a lamp, on dark, wet nights, and in the wet season he is sure he could get thousands of them.
