I may add that the known insect fauna of Ireland is likely to be greatly 

 auginented by recent visits from Irish, Scotch, and English entomologists in 

 connection with the concerted investigation into the Natural History of Clare 

 Island and the adjacent mainland of Mayo, the results of which will shortly 

 be published in the Trans. Royal Irish Academy. — Claude Moblet, Monks

 Pierce, F.E.S., in the Chair. 



The Opening Meeting of the session was devoted to exhibits of the season's 

 work. 



Mr. T. Baxter, of St. Anne's, sent for exhibition a fine series of Luperina 

 guencei and its variety baxteri, and contributed a note in which ho pointed out 

 that both forms were represented in a perfectly fresh condition, and that the 

 view that the var. baxteri would become the typical gueneei with age must be 

 abandoned ; also an extraordinary asymmetrical ab. of Abraxas grossulariata 

 captured in his garden at St. Anne's. Mr. H. R. Sweeting, a long series of 

 Hydrwcia crinariensis captured this year near Londonderry ; the variation 

 appeared to be on exactly parallel lines with nictitans ; also the following

 example, T. incerta, T. stabilis, Pachnobia ruhricosa, Noctua /estiva, N. bri(,nnea,
