JANUARY \3th, 1921. 



Lord Rothschild, F.R.S., of Tring, and Mr. F. W. Enefer, of 

 Blackbeath, were elected members. 



Mr. Robert Adkin exhibited a specimen of Maiujarodes unionalis, 

 taken in October last at sugar, in a garden at Arlington, a village 

 on the borders of Abbott's Wood, Sussex, about seven miles inland 

 from the coast. He said this was a very interesting species, and an 

 undoubted migrant. It was apparently not an inhabitant of central 

 and Western Europe, but bred freely in Turkey, Syria, Northern 

 Africa, and occurred also in Southern Europe and at Gibraltar. 

 When it was taken in Britain, as was occasionally the case, and 

 then usually at an interval of several years, more than single speci- 

 mens were generally met with, and it was therefore not surprising 

 that two others were taken in October last on the South Devon 

 coast, thus suggesting that, although the migration may have been 

 a sparse one, it was wide-spread, and having regard to the natural 

 habitat of the species tended to confirm the route of migration via 

 Ushant already suggested at page 26 of Proceedings for 1914-16.
