Mr. Newman exhibited a " blue " captured by him in Kent on 

 July 4th, which he considered from its colour and markings to be a 

 hybrid between A<jriades con'don and A. adonis. Dr. Chapman said 

 that it appeared to resemble a specimen he had obtained from the 

 " Tutt " collection, and which on examination microscopically he 

 found to be the hybrid known as polunns. Mr. Newman also 

 exhibited two underside aberrations of A. coridon, in one of which 

 the ground colour was pearly white with large spots, the other was 

 a form ab. ohsoUta. 



Mr. Bunnett exhibited the ova of Chrysopa flava. These were 

 attached to long stalks, but were assembled in a bunch, not soli- 

 tary as in the case of the Clirysopa jierla exhibited recently by Mr. 

 West. 



Mr. C. B. Williams exhibited a box containing the Lepidoptera he 

 had met with in the Italian Val Formazza, leading up from Domo- 

 dossola to the Tosa Falls (912ft. to 5400ft. above sea level). (See 

 "Ent. Eecord," vol. xxviii., p. 4.) 



Mr. Ashdown exhibited two aberrations of C'occindla bijinnctata ; 

 one having irregular blotches on each elytron and the other having 

 a transverse bar and marginal spots. They were from Surrey. 



Mr. West exhibited a rare species of Coleoptera, ScjpiinKs arcuatus, 

 presented to the Society by the Rev. J. T. Perry, formerly a mem- 

 ber, from Henley-on-Thames. It was a rare species. Mr. C. B. 

 WilUams suggested that it was the larva of this species he believed 

 to feed on the Aleijrodes (Aleiirodes) sp. which was found on ivy. 



Mr. Sperring exhibited some extremely dark aberrations of Boar- 

 mia (jemmaria [rhomhoidaria) which he had bred from ova. The 

 larvae were hibernated in a sleeve on privet. The parent was taken 

 at Daren th, Kent. 



Mr. Tonge exhibited examples of Zyriaena tilipendtihe, the con- 

 fluent form, from Reigate, and asked if this aberration had been 

 met with elsewhere. Several members, in spite of breeding large 

 numbers, had not obtained this form. 



Mr. B. S. Williams, on behalf of Mr. E. Wanhill, exhibited a 

 curious example of Gonepteryx rhamni, bred from a North Kent 

 larva. It was predominantly a male, in which the forewnngs were 

 streaked with female coloration. He also showed melanic examples 

 of llibernia defoUaria from Epping Forest, and two very pale almost 

 aibinistic forms of the same species. 



Mr. Bowman exhibited a long series of Hibernia defoUaria taken 

 in Epping Forest in 1914. Included were a dozen decided melanic 

 specimens, nine of which had smoky hindwings, while the other
