The afternoon was extremely hot, and some of the party indulged 

 in a paddle in one of the numerous ponds deserted by the 

 brickmakers, much to the disgust of a water vole which sought 

 refuge in flight. 



Among the Heterocera the following species were reported. — 

 Zyyitna trifolii (a form intermediate between the large palustris 

 form and the small chalk hill form, including several nice confluent 

 specimens which are as a rule of much less common occurrence in 

 the larger races of this species), Hylophila prasinana, Miltochrista 

 miniata, Lithosia mesomella, L. sororciila, Diacrisia sannio [russula), 

 Hypocrita jacohcea, Porthesia similis, Leucoina salicis, Trictna psi, 

 Hypena proboscidalis, H. rostralis, Metrocampa marrjaritaria, Hyria 

 muricata {anroraria) (a good record), F])naturya atoniaria, Biipalus 

 piniaria, Semiothisa litarata, etc., with larvae of Hibernia defoliaria, 

 Geometra papilionaria, Himera pennaria, Drepana falcataria, D. 

 lacertinaria, Lophopteryx camelina, Notodonta ziczac, N. dromedarius, 

 Asphalia flavicornis, etc. 



The Micro-lepidoptera were poorly represented in the captures, 

 and Mr. Sich reported that nothing notable was taken. 



A notable Coleopteron was taken by Mr. Carr and subsequently 

 identified by Mr. West as Athoits rhonibeus. 



An enjoyable and Avell-earned tea at Messrs. Bullock's in Ascot 

 village terminated the day's outing just as the expected shower 

 of rain arrived. 



JULY 8th, 1915. 



Mr. G. B. Pearson, of Russell Square, was elected a member. 



Mr. Stanley Edwards exhibited series of Malacosoma lienstria, M. 

 castrensis, and Cosnwtnc/ie potatoria, and pointed out the variation 

 shewn. 



Mr. Robert Adkin's contribution to the exhibit was confined to 

 Cosmotriche potatoria, of which species he showed long series, 

 in which were included specimens from Scotland, Ireland, and 

 many parts of England. The chief type of variation was the 

 tendency in some of the females for their colour to approach that 

 of the normal male, while in some of the males there was a 

 tendency to approach the female coloration. 



Mr. Leeds exhibited the same three species, and pointed out
