have added a form from Kandersteg, where the orange patch 

 extends beyond the spot, which is small ; a Kent specimen with 

 extended orange, and a Hampshire specimen with limited orange." 



Mr. Dennis exhibited photographs of a recently differentiated 

 species of Ant, Formica pratensis, which was closely related to the 

 well-known species F. rufa. 



Mr. Stallman exhibited a remarkable specimen of Timiocampa 

 gothica ? , with right underwing reproducing the markings of the 

 forewing, but rather confused by streaks towards the apex of the 

 wing of the normal underwing colour, the markings are also rather 

 cramped up owing to the small size of the wing, it being slightly 

 smaller than usual and of a somewhat different shape. The under 

 surface of the wing is quite normal, with the central dot. It 

 was taken at " sallow " at Holmwood, on April 4th of the present 

 year. 



Mr. B. W. Adkin exhibited the following specimens of Lepidoptera 

 from Loch Lomond taken in 1914 : — 



Ccenonijmpha pamphilus. — Undersides of the females suffused with 

 white. The spots opaque. The males very dark. Specimens from 

 S. England for comparison, one of which had an extra spot on the 

 forewing. 



Brent his selene. — A dark suffused female. A specimen from 

 S. England for comparison. 



Diacri$ia sannio. — A dark suffused male of large size. A 

 specimen from S. England (Tilgate Forest) for comparison of the 

 usual S. England small form, but with a minimum of suffusion in 

 hindwings. 



Mr. Adkin remarked that Lepidoptera were plentiful on the banks 

 of Loch Lomond and evidently interesting — but he had little 

 opportunity for collecting there. Other species noted included 

 Acidalia famata, Cabera pusaria, Fulype hastata, Xanthorhu'e sociata, 

 X. tristata, X. montanata, lodis lactearia, Campto<jramina bilineata, 

 Loiiiaspilis marginata, Hcemaris tityus, etc. The specimens of 

 C. pawphilus and D. sannio appeared to be typical of the local 

 forms, but the B. selene exhibited was the most suffused of a large 

 number taken and observed. 



Mr. Sich then read a short paper, " Notes on Tortrix viridana." 

 (see page 15.) In the discussion which ensued it was remarked that 

 a specimen or two representing a second brood had occasionally 

 been met with. As a remedy against the depredations of this pest, 

 it was stated that probably spraying was the most effective. 

 Mr. Adkin noted that on one occasion at Chattenden he had found
