148 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



hibited various forms of Agriades {Polyommatus) corijdon from 

 Southern Europe, including A. var. arrcujonensis, and ii>s form cani- 

 lescens from Albarracin, Spain ; also a pair of Brenthis selene from 

 La Granja, and a pair of B. hecate from Hungary, showing the 

 remarkable approximation of the two species in the markings of the 

 wings. — Mr. H. St. J. Donisthorpe brought for exhibition a case con- 

 taining a small nest of about thirty to forty hermaphrodite living 

 examples of Formica rufibarbis var. fusco-rufibarbis from Whitsand 

 Bay, August, 1909, into which had been introduced a queen of Fonaica 

 rufa from Nethy Bridge (May, 1909). The queen had been accepted 

 by the other ants in a few days. — Mr. C. 0. Waterhouse, on behalf 

 of Mr. J. C. Moulton, of the Sarawak Museum, exhibited a Longi- 

 corn beetle of the genus Chlorydoluvi, in which the right antenna 

 was much shorter than the left. The specimen appeared to be a 

 male in every respect except in the length of the right antenna, the 

 joints of which were a trifle shorter than those of a female. Mr. 

 Moulton was inclined to think that the specimen might be gynandro- 

 morphous. Mr. Waterhouse suggested that it might rather be 

 regarded as a malformation. — Mr. W. E. Sharp exhibited an example 

 of Calathus mollis, having the right anterior tibiae and tarsus in 

 triplicate. He said that such reduplication was not uncommon, but 

 that it was seldom so perfect in detail. — Mr. L. W. Newman showed 

 a case containing the following forms of AntJirocera hippocrepidis, all 

 taken in June, 1908, in one small field in the neighbourhood of 

 Bristol: {a) analogous to A. jilipeiidulce, var. chrysanthemi, (b and c) 

 analogous to A. filipendulcB, nh.Jiava, Eobson, and a pink form, with 

 (d) an example with yellowish spots, otherwise normal. Also a 

 specimen of A. lonicercB captured at the same place, with the 

 markings broadly confluent. — Mr. G. Bethune-Baker brought for 

 exhibition three nests of a species of Lasiocampid from Mount 

 Elgon, Albert Nyanza, belonging to the same group as Thaumetopcea 

 processionea. He had been consulted relative to the possibilities of 

 using the silk of which the long pouch-like " nests " were con- 

 structed. Mr. G. A. K. Marshall said that they belonged to a species 

 of Anaphe. — Professor E. B. Poulton, F.E.S., read a " Preliminary 

 Note on Mr. A. D. Millar's experimental breeding of forms of the 

 Nymphaline genus Euralia in Natal," by Mr. Eoland Trimen, M.A., 

 F.E.S., and exhibited examples of the species and forms referred to. 

 He said that Mr. Millar was greatly to be congratulated on his 

 success in obtaining the long-wished-for proof that Euralia wahl- 

 bergi and E. mimcB were forms of the same species. Professor 

 Poulton also exhibited a set of six Euralia anthcdon, Doubl., and 

 four E. dubia from Lagos, the western representatives of E. wahl- 

 bergi and E. mimce respectively, giving it as his opinion that after 

 the proof obtained by Mr. Millar, tlie western butterflies were also the 

 dimorphic forms of a single species. The following papers were 

 read: — " Third Paper on the Tetriginae (Orthoptera) in the Oxford 

 University Museum," by J. L. Hancock, M.D. " Descriptions of New 

 Algerian Hyraenoptera-Aculeata {Sphegidce)," by the late Edward 

 Saunders, F.E.S., and the Eev. E. D. Morice, M.A. " On Zizeria,
