1. Aniorpha {Sinerinthiis) pnpuli. — Eight c? s and four J s bred in 

 May and June, 1915, by his brother, Mr. E. C. Stalhuan, from ova 

 laid by a wild $ from Dulwich, 1914. The parent was so damaged 

 (through being washed down a garden drain), that the colouring 

 could not be made out, but what there was of it seemed rather 

 coppery. The specimens bred show, in the males, three of typical 

 coloration, three of rather coppery tint, and two grey with olive 

 markings. In the females, one rich copper, and three very pale 

 olive tinted with indistinct markings. Included was a typical 

 female from a dug pupa, Dulwich, for comparison.

3. Boarmia gemmaria. — A short series bred from larvae obtained 

 with the abietaria. There are greyish and ochreous forms in both 

 sexes, but two females are Yar.jierfiimaria. One male has markings 

 on upper wings formed into a narrow black band, there is a 

 corresponding band on the lower wings.
