﻿the 
  more 
  extreme 
  forms 
  which 
  were 
  observed 
  by 
  him, 
  and 
  were 
  of 
  

   three 
  types 
  : 
  — 
  

  

  1. 
  With 
  large 
  ocelli 
  on 
  forewing. 
  

  

  2. 
  With 
  small 
  ocelli 
  on 
  forewing. 
  

  

  3. 
  With 
  the 
  space 
  between 
  central 
  lines 
  on 
  forewing 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  

   suffused 
  with 
  brown, 
  so 
  as 
  to 
  form 
  a 
  bar. 
  (ab. 
  mediobujem.) 
  

  

  The 
  last 
  form 
  would 
  appear 
  to 
  resemble 
  what 
  Barrett 
  describes 
  

   as 
  a 
  local 
  form 
  taken 
  on 
  the 
  slopes 
  of 
  Dartmoor, 
  by 
  Major 
  J. 
  N. 
  

   Still. 
  Mr. 
  Adkin 
  stated 
  that 
  he 
  found 
  this 
  form 
  to 
  be 
  uncommon, 
  

   and 
  that 
  he 
  concurred 
  in 
  the 
  view 
  that 
  t'oravf/e 
  i)ie</era 
  cannot 
  be 
  

   regarded 
  as 
  a 
  variable 
  species. 
  

  

  Mr, 
  Wheeler 
  said 
  that 
  banded 
  forms 
  of 
  P. 
  megera 
  were 
  not 
  peculiar 
  

   to 
  Dartmoor. 
  He 
  had 
  met 
  with 
  the 
  aberration 
  on 
  the 
  Hog's 
  Back, 
  

   near 
  Guildford. 
  

  

  The 
  remainder 
  of 
  the 
  evening 
  was 
  devoted 
  to 
  the 
  exhibition 
  of 
  

   lantern 
  slides. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  H. 
  Main, 
  slides 
  showing 
  the 
  resting 
  positions 
  of 
  the 
  sexes 
  of 
  

   Mosquitoes 
  and 
  Gnats 
  found 
  m 
  this 
  country, 
  and 
  also 
  of 
  Chirono- 
  

   mus 
  iilumostis. 
  He 
  also 
  showed 
  slides 
  of 
  the 
  yellow-fever 
  mosquito, 
  

   Stego)iiyia 
  fasciata, 
  and 
  contrasted 
  the 
  appearance, 
  structure 
  and 
  

   habits 
  of 
  Culex 
  and 
  Anopheles, 
  both 
  of 
  which 
  he 
  had 
  met 
  with 
  in 
  

   Epping 
  Forest. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Bunnett, 
  slides 
  of 
  a 
  large 
  number 
  of 
  species 
  of 
  fungi. 
  

  

  Mr, 
  Dennis, 
  slides 
  of 
  numerous 
  species 
  of 
  grass, 
  mostly 
  showing 
  

   their 
  fructification.

  5th, 
  1918. 
  

  

  Fungus 
  Foray, 
  Wimbledon 
  Common.

  Conductor. 
  

  

  Having 
  regard 
  for 
  the 
  war-time 
  suspension 
  of 
  travelling 
  facilities, 
  

   it 
  was 
  thought 
  desirable 
  to 
  try 
  a 
  field 
  of 
  operations 
  nearer 
  to 
  Lon- 
  

   don 
  than 
  that 
  usually 
  selected. 
  The 
  leader 
  had 
  satisfied 
  himself 
  in 
  

   September 
  that 
  there 
  was 
  still 
  an 
  abundance 
  of 
  Fungi 
  at 
  Wimble- 
  

   don, 
  though, 
  of 
  course, 
  not 
  nearly 
  so 
  many 
  species 
  as 
  occur 
  in 
  the 
  

   pine 
  woods 
  of 
  Oxshott 
  and 
  Esher. 
  But 
  for 
  a 
  week 
  previous 
  to 
  the 
  

   meeting 
  the 
  weather 
  had 
  been 
  unpropitious, 
  continuous 
  rain, 
  with 
  

   low 
  temperature 
  and 
  night 
  frosts. 
  The 
  day 
  itself 
  was 
  very 
  wet 
  

   until 
  the 
  meeting 
  hour, 
  when 
  it 
  cleared 
  wonderfully, 
  and 
  gave 
  an 
  

   enjoyable 
  afternoon 
  to 
  the 
  five 
  members 
  who 
  turned 
  up.
