Studies in Variation, inclndinii' hrcedinii' exj^erinionts. can 

 be carried on with several of the u'ronjis. This line of re- 

 search is specially attractive here, for six oi- more generations 

 may be had per year. 



Of these special snbjects, those with reference to H ipitcii- 

 optera have several of the members of the Society specially 

 interested in them: the Aculcafp^ — ^Fessrs. Giffard, AVilliams, 

 Timberlake and Bridwell ; the Parasilicn — Messrs. Fnllaway, 

 Tinil)erlake, Bridwell and Swezey. 



In the Lepidoptera, Mr. Swezey has been can-yinu' on re-
