coloiu- blue, paler approaching outer marginal areas, and terminat- 

 ing in whitish wedge-shaped markings ; forewings without orange 

 spots, but hindwings largely bordered ; taken in Herts, in June, 

 1916. 



Dr. Chapman exhibited a series of Vespa norefjica, and said, "This 

 wasp has, so far as I can learn, been not uncommon near Reigate 

 this summer, these specimens are from a large nest taken ten days 

 ago. The species is common in the north, but apparently very rare 

 in S.E. England. During many years collecting at Reigate Mr. 

 Frisby does not appear to have met with it here, but has once taken 

 it in Kent. The female specimen has the 3rd and 4th abdominal 

 segment dorsally fused." 



Dr. Chapman also exhibited bred specimens of Sdenia bilmiaria, 

 and contributed the following note : — 



" I had some Selenia hilnnaria which emerged rather early, and 

 not wanting them as specimens they laid a number of eggs, and 

 these I reared, rather because other work amongst living insects was 

 scarce, at any rate they fed up and pupated at a fairly normal rate, 

 and tolerably together. But in their emergence as imagines they 

 have been coming out often several a day, now and then more, for 

 the past two months, and there are still a number in pupa, whose 

 intention I don't know. The moths that have emerged are some 

 of the spring and some of the summer form, the difference having 

 no relation to earlier or later emergences. 



" I only recently pinned a few specimens, so that perhaps the 

 exhibit wants the most characteristic specimens. This mixing of 

 both forms in the summer brood is, I fancy, very usual, but I did 

 not know it was associated with such a prolonged emergence." 



Mr. Hugh Main exhibited living plants of the rare Bladder-wort, 

 Vtricularia nenlecta from Epping Forest; the pupa of the tiger- 

 beetle, Cincindela campestris, produced in one of his small observa- 

 tion cases ; and a brilliant red fungus, Pcziza sp., from Epping 

 Forest. 



Mr. Hy. J. Turner made the following exhibits : — 



1. The life history of Coleophnra iiif/ricella, including numerous 

 bred specimens, larval cases, both the small curved cases used for 

 hibernation and the straight more mature cases and leaves of the 

 hawthorn to show the mines of the larva and the angle of 

 attachment of the case. 



2. The " winter cots " or hybernacula of a species of N. 

 American Linicnitis. The young larva eats away the willow leaf
