Mr. Frohawk called attention to a few of the most noteworthy 

 specimens in this exhibit, including the aberrations of D. paphia; 

 (1) the specimen with the basal half white, which he thought was 

 unique ; (2) the extremel}- rare, if not unique, intermediate between 

 typical form and ab. ralesina ; and (3) the black vales.i)ia, which was 

 the blackest he had ever seen. 



Mr. T. H. GroSiVenor exhibited male and female Attaciis edwardd, 

 from the Khasia Hills, and a large number of Scorpions taken by 

 himself in Bangalore, on the Afghan Border, Waziristan, the 

 Punjaub, the N.W. Frontier Provinces, and the Murree Hills. 



Mr. B. S. Williams exhibited a series of Loinaspilis viariiinata, 

 from Finchley, showing a good range of variations, including one 

 with white fringes and another with yellowish-cream ground 

 colour. 



Mr. E. E. Green exhibited the Japanese Swallow-tail {Pa/)ilio 

 hianur), caught in his garden at Camberley, on September 17th last. 

 Many of these fine butterflies have been seen in the neighbourhood, 

 resulting from the breeding experiments of Mr. Cecil Floorsheim at 

 Bagshot. It seems possible that they may become established in 

 this country, to a certain extent. Mr. Green has been informed by 

 Messrs. Waterer and Sons, of Bagshot, that the larvae have been 

 found on Skhinnia bushes in their nursery gardens. 



A series of Parascotia [Boletobia) fnlu/inaria, a rare Hypenid, 

 caught at light, in Mr. Green's house at Camberley. The larvs are 

 said to feed upon certain fungus growths in cellars and old wooden 

 buildings. Though extremely scarce in the British Isles, the species 

 is widely distributed in Europe. 



Ai/rotis (?) saKcia var. Diarrfaritosa, taken at sugar, at Camberley, 

 with the apex of the forewings markedly rounded. 



Typical Luperina testacea, from Camberley, with a smaller, more 

 unicolorous form from the south of Scotland. 



A form of Hniiera pennaria, with orange veins on the forewings, 

 and the area between them covered with plumbeous scales. 



The Rhododendron Tingid {Stejikaniti>< rluxindendri), a,n introduced 

 pest of Rhododendrons. Its presence may be detected by a rusty- 

 brown tinge on the upper surface of the leaves. The insects rest 

 and feed on the undersurface. 



Four examples of ('orizini inacidatHs, beaten from birch. The 

 species described by Saunders (" Hemipt. Heteropt. of the British 

 Islands," p. 57) as " very rare." 



Mr. Green also showed a convenient contrivance for covering
