wings. He pointed out that the lobe on the hindwing of this 

 species was very small. 



Mr. Hy. J, Turner exhibited three species of the genus Eacles 

 from the New World. K. hnperialis, the well-known N. American 

 species, K. (jranditi, the closely allied species from Sao Paulo, S. 

 Brazil, and a further species sent to him by Mr. Lmdeman from

OCTOBER Uth, 1920. 



Mr. J. B. Farmer exhibited a storebox filled with British 

 Odonata, etc., which he was presenting to the Society. 



Mr. Riley exhibited, for Mr. R. South and on behalf of Mr. 

 Dolton of Reading, some aberrations of British Lepidoptera taken 

 during the past season in the Reading district, including A;iria(les 

 coridon, male, intermediate between the form albicans, H.-S., 

 (Spain) and the form apennina, Zell. (Italy). Its appearance in 

 Britain is very unusual, and the two specimens in the British 

 Museum are both labelled " Hungary." There was also a very 

 unusual form of Hibernia leucnphaaria, the marking forming very 

 conspicuous wavy transverse bands on an almost clear grey ground. 

 In addition there were two dark grey- brown females of Bnpaltis 

 piniaria, a form which occurs at Oxshott occasionally. 



Mr. Hy. J. Turner exhibited a series of ZijijcEiia tilipendul<£ taken 

 on the eastern portion of the southern slope of Box Hill. Practi- 

 cally the whole of the large number examined, of which those 

 exhibited were a sample, had the sixth-spot more or less feebly 

 developed, and in some worn specimens it was almost obliterated. 

 The specimens were generally small. There were several ab. ctjtisi 

 in which the pairs of spots were united to form three separate 

 blotches, as well as various modifications of spotting, including an 

 example in which a streak of scarlet united the 5th and 6th blotches 

 with the joined 3rd and 4th blotches. 



Mr. Newman exhibited a living larva of Hi/loiciis pinafttri from 

 Suffolk, the last of a small brood, the others having pupated. 



Mr. B. S. Williams exhibited three female examples of I'leris 

 rajKC from Finchley, showing a small dusky spot in the disc of the 

 hindwing; also an abnormal Rionicia phUias with the spots on the 

 left forewing somewhat striate.
