P'lELD Meeting in the Claygate and Oxshott Woods. 



Leader.— Ry. J. Turner, F.E.S. 



It was thought that a larva-hunting field meeting might be held 

 in this generally good locality with some profit to those taking part. 

 Apparently this was not so, as only one record waa sent in, and 

 personally, but few items were noted, while the nine members who 

 succeeded in finally gaining the tea-house had met with but little 

 luck. The number nine is somewhat misleading, for taking into 

 account those members who got lost in the maze of woods, those 

 who attended the meeting and did not go to the tea, those who did 

 not know that there was a meeting and were present a part of the 

 time, together with those who sent in their names and cried off, we 

 should have scored at least twenty. 



Mr. Ashdown records finding no less than nine species of 

 Coccinellid(e by beating the fir trees, while by sweeping he got 

 nothing but a few Hemiptera, the only capture of note in this order 

 being PilojJtoriis cinnamojtterus. 



[Subsequently to the reading of the Report the following species 

 were reported as being taken in the larval stage: — hhipitJiecia 

 coronata, K.lariciata, E. albipitnctata, E.centaureata, E.absijnthiata, 

 E. assiviilata, E. vulgata, E. saccenturiata , E. exiguata, Arctia ro/a, 

 Heniithea strigata, Cabera ])iisaria, Euchoeca ohliterata, etc.] .
