Enrijphene, of butterflies to show the extreme divergence of sexual 

 dimorphism, some of the sex forms having originally been described 

 as separate species. There were included E. phranza, E. cocalia, 

 E. sophus, and E. plautilla, with the allied Cijinothoe sangaris and 

 Enplicedia arcadiiis. 



Mr. Frohawk exhibited a stoat which had been killed in the 

 transition stage of the alteration of its fur from summer to winter 

 colour, and made the following remarks : — 



" I exhibit a remarkable and probably unique variety of the stoat. 

 The specimen was obtained in Cambridgeshire several years ago. 

 The chief peculiarity is the manner in which the white is distributed 

 over the sides of the neck and back, leaving a lateral band of the 

 normal rufous-brown colouring along the neck and body ; con- 

 sequently the change to the white winter coat has taken place in a 

 reverse order. In normal specimens the change to white is assumed 

 by the extension of the white from the belly upwards, leaving the 

 brown along the middle of the back, as well as on the upper part of 

 the head and neck. The last portion to remain brown is a ring 

 encircling the eyes ; when the rings finally disappear the animal is 

 then in the complete ermine dress."
