attacked elm as well as the garden apples. Theobald states that 

 the winged form leaves the apple in the autumn for the shoots of 

 elm, from which winged forms go to the apple again in the spring. 



kr B Adkin exhibited a box of mixed specimens of Brenthis 

 selene and B. euphrosyne, and enquired what was the upperside 

 differentiation, if any existed. He also showed various forms of 

 (Joswotriche potatoria, including a female of a general light colora- 

 tion, but with a dark cloud along the costa. 



Mr H. Moore exhibited a short series of an African Pierid, from 

 the Karura Forest, Nairobi, which he doubtfully referred to the 

 winter form of Teracoius pimiceiis, Butler. 



Note. -Since the meeting Mr. N. D. Eiley has kindly referred 

 to the series in the National Collection, and writes, " the species of 

 Terocolm you exhibited is T. hetcwra, Gerst. Aurivillius treats this 

 as being distinct from punicem, Butler, but our series shows this 

 view to be incorrect ; pmiiceus must be regarded as a synonym of 

 hetaera. The form figured in Seitz us folia c ens, Butler, is a typical

 often pinkish below. Seasonal variation is very marked m this 



species." 



Mr. Blenkarn exhibited the beetles Pentarthnw, luittum, dug out 

 from wood in an old stable at Killarney, and Li^sodema cirsor, found 

 under bark at Ranmore Common on August 1st. Both localities 

 were new for the species.

nwiiuniatia. 



Mr. E. J. Bunnett exhibited the black form of AmjJuda.is hetn- 

 larla var. dnnbleda>)aria, and an intermediate form obtained in the 

 S.E. district of London. He also showed a photograph of the 

 recent eclipse of the sun. 



Mr. R. Adkin read the following report of the Society's Delegate 

 to the Conference of Corresponding Societies of the British 

 Association for the advancement of Science :— 



The meeting of the British Association, held at Edinburgh 

 from September 7th to 14th, 1921, was in every way a great 

 success, the membership being the largest for many years 

 and the subjects under discussion for the most part of unusual 

 interest. Naturally the greater part of my attention was 

 devoted to " Section D.— Zoology," which was presided over by 

 Prof. E. S. Goodrich, F.R.S., who took for his address " Some
