ENTOMOLOGICAL SECTION. 

 I \UIIING the Slimmer two excursions of the Section took 

 • ^-^ place — one in May to Dursley. The day was most 

 enjoyable, and many captures were made, principally of the 

 usual Dursley species ; but one notable capture was made by 

 Mr. Bartlett of an Agrotis cinerea^heing, as far as known, the 

 second occurrence of this rare species in the West of England. 

 The second excursion was taken in July to Llantrissat. The 

 day provedstormy and rather boisterous, so that the captures 

 were not extensive, but several species hardly known to the 

 Bristol district were taken. The Section was most hospit- 

 ably entertained by Evan John, Esq., J. P., whose collection 

 was inspected. 



At the indoor meetings of the Section a large number of 

 most interesting exhibitions have been made by different 

 members, both of native and exotic species, principally of 

 Coleoptera and Lepidoptera.
