Mr. McLachlan exhibited, on behalf of Mr. Bradley, of Birmingham, the speci- 

 mens of Diptera attacked by an entomophthorous fungus of the genus Empusa, of 

 which an account had recently appeared in the Ent. Mo. Mag., August, 1895, p. 178. 

 Mr. H. Tunaley exhibited specimens of Lohophora viretata from the neighbourhood 

 of Birmingham. Specimens of the green dark form were shown in their natural 

 positions on the bark, and specimens of the yellow form were shown on leaves on 

 which they rested. Mr. J. W. Tutt exhibited, for Mr. Anderson, of Chichester, cases 

 formed by a Lepidopterous insect received from the Argentine Eepublic, which he 

 said he recognised as being either identical with, or closely allied to, Thyridopteryx 

 ephemerceformis, which did great damage to many orchard and forest trees in North 

 America. Mr. Tutt also exhibited a series of Lyccena ^gon captured by Mr. Massey, 

 of Didsbury, on the mosses in Westmoreland. The males were remarkable in bearing 

 two very distinct shades of colour. The females also differed considerably from the 

 form occurring in the south of England. He also exhibited a long series of 

 HydrcBcia lucens, captured in the mosses near Warrington, and for comparison a 

 series of HydrcBcia paludis, and he read notes on the various specimens exhibited.

 some supplementary notes to Dr. Fritz Miiller's paper. Lord Walsingham read a 

 paper, entitled, "New Species of North American TortricidcB." In this paper 

 twenty-nine species were dealt with, of which twenty-six were described as new,
