the type of insnlanus at Tring, has discovered that the sub-sp. minor, 

 which he has now seen, is quite distinct, and must be considered as 

 a form of hraziliensis. But C. eiirilochus and C. braziliensis, Lord 

 Rothschild finds, to be distinct species. Quite recently Fruhstorfer 

 had described from Trinidad a form of C. eurilochus as sub-sp. 

 phryasus, the type of which is also at Tring, and which turns out to 

 be the same as Mr. Kaye's eiirilochus, now known as braziliensis sub- 

 sp. 7ninor. 



Mr. Brooks showed a specimen of Papilio machaon found by him 

 impaled on a thorn-bush in the Fen district. It was in excellent 

 condition. Presumably it had been caught and impaled by a species 

 of Shrike. 



Mr. F. H. Stallman exhibited a short series of Ilythyia semirnbella 

 {carnella) from Pickett's Hole, Surrey, July 12th, 1914, and Box 

 Hill, August 1st, 1915. Tliere was considerable colour variation in 

 the specimens, and one specimen had a beautiful fairly wide snow- 

 white streak along the costa. This is said to be not uncommon in 

 some localities, and known on the continent as ab. icterella. 



Messrs. Sich, Newman and others made remarks on the unusual 

 season. 



At Hampstead Hibernia lencopJuearia had been met with on 

 January 19th, and fourteen specimens were noted at Bexley about 

 the same time. Among other records were : — Larvae of Callimorpha 

 doininnla already out of hibernation and feeding, Dimorpha versicolora 

 had been bred, as also had numbers of Tephrosia crepuscnlaria (out 

 doors), the larvae of Arctia caja were feeding on suitable days, and 

 those of Abraxas grosstilariata were moving on January 1st. 



Mr. R. Adkin exhibited a specimen of Polygonia c-album taken in 

 his garden at Hodeslea, Eastbourne, on September 18th last year, 

 and read a paper entitled " Autumn Butterflies at Eastbourne and 

 some other Notes." (See page 62.) 



DECEMBER Wi, 1915.
