116 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



hcemorrlwidalis, F., from Dartmoor, recorded by the latter in the 

 Ent. Mo. Mag., xlvi., p. 262 ; and also a red variety of the male of 

 Agabus bijyustulatus, L., from the same locality. — The Eev. A. T. 

 Stiff, who was present as a visitor, exhibited some second-brood 

 specimens of Polygonia c-album var. hutchinsoni. The vars. includ- 

 ing three intermediates, emerged on October 16th, 19th (3), 20th, 

 21st (2), 22nd, 23rd and 26th, 1910. It is believed that there is no 

 record of var. hutchinsoni having ever been bred in the 2nd brood of 

 c-album. — Mr. Newman writes : "I have bred thousands of c-album 

 of the second-brood in various years, and never one hutchinsoni, and I 

 have never heard of any one else doing so." — Mr. Eowland-Brown 

 and Mr. Bethune-Baker both observed that they had taken hybernated 

 specimens of this form on the Continent. — Dr. O. M. Keuter commu- 

 nicated a paper entitled " Bryocorina nonnulla iEthiopica descripta 

 ab 0. M. Eeuter et B. Poppius." — Commander Walker, one of the 

 Secretaries, read a paper on behalf of Col. Manders, entitled " A 

 factor in the production of mutual resemblance in allied species of 

 butterflies." The methods adopted in his experiments, and the 

 conclusions drawn from them by the author, were to some extent the 

 subject of criticism both by Mr. G. A. K. Marshall and Dr. Chapman. 

 — Mr. Merrifield added a few observations with regard to the 

 comparative immunity of Pierine butterflies from the attacks of 

 birds. — A vote of condolence with the family of the late Mr. J. W. 

 Tutt was moved from the chair, all the Fellows present signifying 

 approval by rising. — George Wheeler, Hon. Sec. 



The South London Entomological and Natural History 

 Society. — January 12th, 1911. — Mr. W. J. Kaye, F.E.S., President, in 

 the chair. — The President referred to the great loss that the science 

 of entomology had incurred by the death of Mr. J. W. Tutt, a past 

 President of the Society. — Mr. Phillips, of Forest Gate, was elected 

 a member. — Mr. Tonge exhibited photographs of the ova in sitii of 

 Plebeius argus {oigon), Buralis betula, and Calamia hitosa, and also of 

 the early stage of a wasp's nest [Vespa sylvestris) found in a pig-sty. — 

 Mr. Lucas, a teratological example of Anosia plexi-pims with right 

 fore wing shorter and narrower than normally and with concave 

 outer margin. — Mr. Newman, (1) extremely light and very dark forms, 

 with unusually small and very large forms, of Malacosoma castrensis 

 and M. neustria; (2) a very red Phlogophora meticulosa; (3) second 

 brood specimens of PericalUa syringaria, small and dark banded ; 

 (4) second brood of Selcnia lunaria, i.e. ya.v.delunaria; and (5) living 

 imagines, pup* and full-fed larvae of Aphantop2is hyperanthus reared 

 by Mr. OUver. — Mr. Adkin, selections of several broods reared 

 originally from a black female ab. nigra of Boarmia gemmaria, and 

 communicated a full note on the results. — Mrs. Hemming, bred and 

 caught series of Melitaa aurinia from Wiltshire, where the species 

 has been somewhat common. — Mr. Hemming, on behalf of Mr. P. A. 

 Buxton, the same species with the note that all emerged in the 

 afternoon; he also showed series of Adopoiaflava from Sussex, show- 

 ing two distinct forms.— Mr. Coote, two very dark green examples 

 of Panolis piniperda. — Mr. Platt-Barrett, an example of Saturnia 

 pavo7iia-7najor from Sicily. — Mr. Kaye, Myelobius vuirana, a sphingid-
