in the genus Erebia, to which it is closely allied, and several species 

 of LycanidfB. 



Mr. B. S. Williams exhibited a short series of Zijgcena trifolii 

 var. paliiatris from Somerset, including confluent forms and an 

 aberration of Xanthorho'e sociata, in which the usual dark fascia on 

 the left forewing was reduced to a blotch on the inner margin. 



Mr. West, of Ashtead, exhibited ova of the Neuropteron, 

 Chrysopa peiia, laid solitary each on a long stalk. 



Mr. Stanley Edwards exhibited a living specimen of a European 

 Salamander [Salamandra maculata), and contributed the following 

 note : — " The salamander exhibited was found in a garden at 

 Blackheath, and an owner was unable to be found for it. It is a 

 native of the Tyrol, It feeds readily on earthworms and has been 

 in my possession since November last. It is very fond of its bath. 

 According to Gadow there are about twenty-five species of 

 salamander known so far." 



Mr. Hy. J. Turner exhibited a short series of Brenthis pales var. 

 aisilache. The series was a small form of the variety, which he 

 had found in an extremely restricted locality in the Engadine, 

 between St. Moritz and Campfer, and which was attracted by the 

 flowers of the Marsh Cinquefoil [Comarum paliistre), of which he 

 exhibited a dried specimen. 



He also showed a series of forms of Parascmia plantaginis, which 

 he had casually met with around St. Moritz, Engadine, in 1914, 

 includmg a normal male and female, a male with increase of 

 yellow ground on the hindwings, two males with the ground colour 

 on both wings of an almost pure white, but with the black area 

 much increased especially on the hindwings, a male with the 

 markings quite ordinary in position and area, but with the ground 

 colour on all wings pure white, and a male with yellow ground 

 colour on all wings and a considerable increase of the black area. 



Mr Stanley Edwards read the following Report of the delegates 

 to the Congress of the South-Eastern Union of Scientific Societies 

 at Brighton. 



The twentieth annual Congress of the Union was held at Brighton 

 from June 2nd to the 6th, in the Public Library in Church Street, 

 the intended meeting-place, the Pavilion, being occupied by the 

 Indian wounded, but the present building with its various galleries 

 of Art, Anthropological and Zoological specimens, was, I think, 

 more in keeping with a gathering of the kind. Two excursions 

 were arranged for Wednesday afternoon, one a visit to the fine 

 Booth collection of birds, under the guidance of Mr. H. S. Toms,
