Mr. Tonge on one occasion, at Deal, counted over seventy A'. 

 .vaut/toi/rajiha on one sugar patch, in company with a solitary 

 Leiiconia alhipuncta, and stated that larvae that he had had fed on 

 from April to June. 



Mr. Newman said that his larvae had all gone down by February. 



Mr. Curwen remarked on the extremely large numbers he had met 

 with on sugar at Merton on one occasion. There were quite 80 or 

 90 on each of some 30 trees sugared, and nothing else. 



Mr. Newman exhibited a large example of Cirrhccdia xeraDijielina, 

 from Sligo, having a very dark band ; and males of Ennomos aivjn- 

 laria, from Regent's Park, with much contrast between the darker 

 outer marginal area and the lighter transverse band. 



Mr. Bunnett exhibited the egg-cocoons of the spider Af/rceca 

 brminea, both freshly made and as subsequently daubed with mud.

 species of the Psychides which the Rev. C. R. N. Burrows was

 little was known of this family, some species, so called, may be 

 several such as F. casta, S. triquetrella, etc., of some no males were 

 known, of others, although their habitats were quite different, yet 

 so far no points of distinction had been made out. It was thought 

 that the forelegs might offer some characters which would be avail- 

 able for differentiating the species.
