Wednesday, October 21s^.— The Hon. N. C. Eothschild, M.A., 

 F.L.S., F.Z.S., Vice-President, in the chair.— Messrs. L. D. Cleave, 

 Dept. of Science and /Agriculture, Georgetown, British Guiana, and 

 J. E. Menon, B.A., Trichur, Cochin State, South India, were elected 

 Fellows of the Society. — The death was announced of Mr. Wilham 

 Warren, M.A., F.E.S. — Dr. T. A. Chapman exhibited three abnormal 

 specimens of Anthrocerids, and read notes. — Mr. L. W. Newman, a 

 long and varied series of Dianthmcia barrettii, bred from wild larvae 

 collected in Co. Cork, and dug pupge from S. Devon ; also a series of 

 Boarmia revandata, all bred from wild collected larvae from a very 

 small radius in the Wye Valley, the range of variation being startling. 

 — Mr. A. E. Tonge, a specimen of the hybrid A. populi 3' xS. ocel- 

 latus ? , bred ab ovo, which emerged September 11th, 1914. A pair- 

 ing had been obtained by Mr. T. H. L. Grosvenor, of Eedhill, in 

 May, 1913. About forty ova were laid, but only one hatched, the 

 resulting larva pupating in August, 1913 ; also a specimen of B. 

 ■plilaas, taken on Deal sandhills in September, 1914, without the 

 red marginal band on the hind wings. — Mr. G. Meade- Waldo, a 

 stylopised specimen of the Sand-wasp, Ammophila tydei, Guill., from 

 South Africa. There were no less than seven Stylops parasitic on 

 it. — Mr. E. B. Ashby, some South European butterflies, chiefly from 

 the South of France. — Mr. Eippon, a variety of P. monacha, which, 

 as far as he had been able to ascertain, had not been previously re- 

 corded. The variation consists in the body being banded with black 

 and yellow ; also, five specimens of Triphcena fimbria, bred from 

 Pamber Forest larvae. — Mr. A. H. Jones, a number of moths from 

 Sarepta, and read notes. — Dr. E. A. Cockayne exhibited : (a) Thirty- 

 eight gynandromorphous Agriades coridon from Eoyston ; (b) Two 

 females of A. coridon from Eoyston showing streaks of blue. Neither 

 showed any signs of androconia. (c) One gynandromorphous Poly- 

 ommatus icarus (Co. Clare, 1914), predominantly female ab. ccerulea, 

 but with streaks of male colour on the right fore wing and both hind 

 wings. These showed androconia as regularly arranged and numerous 

 as in areas of the same size and situation in a normal male. — The 

 following paper was read : "On Hawaiian Ophioninae (Hymenoptera, 

 Fam. Ichneumonidffi)," by E. C. L. Perkins, M.A., D.Sc, F.E.S.— 

 Eev. George Wheeler, Hon. Sec. 



The South London Entomological and Natural History 

 Society.— November 12th, 1914.— Mr. A. E. Gibbs, F.L.S., Vice- 

 President, in the chair. — Mr. Sich reported having seen a Pyrameis 

 atalanta in Holborn on that day, November 12th. — Mr. H. Moore 

 exhibited a small colony of the ant Gamponotus abdominalis, found in 

 a banana from the W. Indies. — Mr. Step, abnormal catkins of hazel 

 from Mickleham, probably due to the attack of the gall-mite Eriophyes
