douijlasii, near Thetford, Norfolk. Mr. J. H. Durrant also bred the 

 species from cones of Abies cephalonica, from the same neighbour- 

 hood, and Mr. Tugwell reared one from a shrivelled cone found 

 under spruce trees in Surrey. It would therefore appear that this 

 species has obtained a footing in this country, and should be more 

 frequently met with than appears to have been the case of late years. 

 i5. obductella, on the other hand, appears to have failed to do so, 

 and is likely to be again found only should a future immigration 

 bring stragglers to our shores. 



Mr. L. W. Newman exhibited a curious gynandromorph of 

 Hibernia marginaria, right side $ , left forewing $ , left hindwing 

 about half normal size <? , both antenna3 ^ , and body the appear- 

 ance of c? , from Chaily, Sussex. He reported that he knew of 

 one oak in Bexley Woods which was already in leaf, and parts of 

 the tree had leaves well out on March 31st. 



Mr. Harding exhibited a number of aberrations of Aglais tntic(B, 

 which he had met with during the past 40 years experience of 

 breeding, including ab. bolandii with much increased blue, ab. atra- 

 batoiHia, ab. latahensis, and many forms of ab. connexa. He had 

 never succeeded in getting a very pale form. He also showed a 

 F)/raiiieis atalanta with a chrome yellow band on the forewings ; 

 and a Hipocrita jacobcBm in which the red was also changed to a 

 chrome yellow. 



Mr. Tatchell exhibited a fine xanthic form of F^jiinephele tithonus 

 taken by Mr. Rippon, in Doi'set, in 1893, and a living arva of 

 Trocldlinm crabronifoniiis {bewbeciformis) in a stem of willow. 



Mr. Bunnett exhibited imagines and cases of the Psychid Tale- 

 pnria titbulosa {bo nihy cello), from Farnborough, Kent; a bred speci-

 from poplar catkins.
