the usual range of minor variation, Aijlois nrticae, approaching var.

 pha(/a, pale forms from Brighton ; Apatela aceris from Sandown, Isle 

 of Wight ; (Jiicullia asiteris from the London district, and Phorodesma 

 sinaraiidaria from Essex. Major Woodforde, Zonosoma pendularia \&v. 

 siibroseata, and a new aberration of the same species like si(broseata, but 

 with the pink area ochreous, which he had bred this year for the first 

 time. Mr. George Arnold, Hymenoptera, among them being Crabro 

 aphidum, Forniicoxenus nitiditlus, etc., the last out of nests of F. 

 rufa from the New Forest. Mr. F. N. Pierce exhibited on behalf of 

 Mr. T. Baxter, of St. Anne's, a Luperina allied to L. teatacea, and 

 supposed to be L. nickerlii. This species, only two specimens of which 

 have been previously taken in Britain, both by Mr. Baxter of St. 

 Anne's, has occurred again this year, about a dozen specimens having 

 been captured. Mr. Pierce also exhibited microscopic slides of the 

 genitalia, showing the characters he relied upon for dift'erentiating 

 Mr. Baxter's captures from L. teiitacea. The same member also 

 showed Abra-rasi/rossulariatasih. jiavofasciata, from Wallasey, Nntolophus 

 (Ornyia) (/(j)i(isti/piia, Celaatrina ar//iuliis from Essex, Tripliaena cuines from 

 Isle of Eig, and other local species. Mr. W. Mansbridge showed a 

 long series of Boarmia rcpondata var. nif/ra, from Knowsley, ISIelitaea 

 aurinia from Barmouth, and a series of Enpitliecia valerianata from 

 Delamere Forest, this being the first record of the latter species for 

 Cheshire. Mr. C. E. Eaven exhibited lepidoptera from Rye, Sussex, 

 including a varied series of Mesotijpe vinjata, Aplecta nebnlom ab. 

 robsoni, from Delamere, and Gnophos obsciiraria ab. fasciata, from 

 Folkestone. Mr. Robert Tait, Junr., brought two drawers of lepidop- 

 tera, the result of the season's work, including Aplecta uebidom ab. 

 robsoni, from Delamere, Polia chi ab. olivacea, from Huddersfield, 

 Agrotis atjathina, from North Wales, A. ashworthii, very light and 

 very dark forms from North Wales, Cucidlia reibasci, bred from larvae
