it was bred from a found chrysalis; and a Vanesfia in of a dull leaden 

 greasy coloration. 



Dr. Robertson exhibited the following species of New Forest 

 EupitJtecia taken or bred : — E. valerianata, E. albi punctata, E. 

 pimpinellata, E. venosata, E. jasioneata, E. toi/ata, and E. irriiiiiata, 

 with a fine series of Cleora juhata (glabraria), bred from New Forest 

 larvfe, and pointed out a striking aberration in which the discal and 

 costal markings were completely wanting. This example was bred 

 from the aberrant larva exhibited at the meeting June 22nd, 1916, 

 a larva that was practically devoid of light markings and appeared 

 wholly black. 



In the remarks on the season it was generally remarked that there 

 was a scarcity of butterflies. 



JULY 12th, 1919. 

 Field Meeting — Chalfont. 

 Conductor, Mr. F. B. Cark. 



On rising in the morning I found a steady refreshing rain falling 

 with every appearance of continuing for some time, and I felt 

 doubtful whether anyone but our indefatigable President would turn 

 up at Marylebone for the early train. However, five of us went 

 down by it, and arrived at Chalfont about 11. It continued to rain 

 till mid-day, after which the weather was delightful, and Mrs. 

 Robertson was able to take some good snap-shots of some of the 

 party. Other members joined the party in the afternoon. The 

 object of the visit was to take Abraxas sijlvata (ubnata) and Asthena 

 blonieri. The former was nearly over, but blomeri was abundant 

 and in good condition, and everyone took a good series. A few 

 Pararc/e (Kjeria were taken, and Mesoleuca albicillata was fairly 

 common on the tree trunks. 



Larvae taken were Demas coryli and Ennovios quercinaria. About 

 five o'clock we started to walk through the woods to the oldfashioned 

 village of Chenies, and thence through the pleasant lanes and fields 

 to Chorley Wood, where we were sumptuously entertained by Mr. 

 T. W. Hall, our late Hon. Treasurer, and Mrs. Hall, and thus 

 ended a most enjoyable outing.
