1909. This addition extends the period of emergence of the second 

 generation to some twenty-three weeks. With regard to imagines 

 resulting from the October pupge mentioned in the note referred to, 

 I may state that a male emerged on January 3rd last, another ex- 

 ample of the same sex on March 4th, and finally a male on 27th of 

 that month. I might add that I am again rearing the species from 

 a fresh batch of Huntingdonshire ova. Larvae from these com- 

 menced to hatch out on May 18th. — Eichaed South. 



Gynandrous Satuenia pavonia (carpini). — On April 26th a 

 gynandrous S. pavonia emerged from a Denbighshire cocoon which 

 had lain over two winters. - The right half of the moth (antenna, 

 thorax, and wings) male, the left half female. The rest of the insect 

 also appears to be a compromise between the sexes. Another 

 curiosity is a cocoon from last year's larvae which is entirely round, 

 and without vent for the emergence of the perfect insect. — J. Arkle; 

 Chester.

Entomologicad Society of London. — Wednesday, Ajml 6th, 

 1910. — Mr. H. Rowland-Brown, M.A., Vice-President, in the chair. — 

 Mr. Horace B. Browne, M.A., of 118, Sunny. Bank, Hull; Mr. 

 William George Dawson, of 31, King's Gardens, West End Lane, 

 West Hampstead, N.W. ; Mr. Alfred Nander Hedges, of 42, Ken- 

 sington Park Gardens, W. ; the Rev. Hubert George Stanley, of 

 Marshfield Vicarage, Cardiff ; and Mr. Rupert Stenton, of Southwell, 

 Notts, were elected Fellows of the Society. — Mr. W. G. Sheldon 

 exhibited several series of the butterflies taken by him last July in 

 the Hohe Tatra region of the Carpathians, Eastern Hungary. They 

 included examples of Melitcea dictynnoides, Hormuzaki, with M. au- 

 relia and M. dictynna for comparison ; Brenthis pales var. arsilache 

 from the forest zone at 3000 ft., and a form of B. pales from 5000 ft., 

 with the upper side approaching in colour and markings to var. arsi- 

 lache, but of smaller size, the under side being typical ; also Swiss 

 examples for comparison; Parnassius apollo var. carpaticus, Aigner, 

 Erehia medusa var. hippomedusa, E. ligea, and Ccenonyvipha hero. — 

 The Rev. G. Wheeler expressed a decided opinion that M. dictyn- 

 noides constitutes a good species, and is not a form of M. aiirelia. — 

 Mr. P. Harwood brought for exhibition an example of Strangalia 

 revestita, taken on a flower-head near Andover in 1909. — Mr. W. F. H. 

 Rosenberg exhibited (a) a "combination" consisting of a Nym- 

 phaHne butterfly, Euphcedra ruspina, and three species of moths 

 belonging to as many different families, viz. Phcegorista similis 

 (Hypsidcfi), Xanthospilopteryx poggei (Agaristilse), and a Geometer, 

 Aletis helcita. These insects bear a close superficial resemblance to 

 each other in colour and pattern of markings, the wings being tawny 

 orange, with black marginal borders and white apical and marginal 

 spots ; (b) a pair of the Nymphaline butterfly, Harma theodota, a
