gave a most interesting account of the interrelations of ants and the 

 larvae of this species. In the discussion, Dr. Chapman said that he 

 was on one occasion easily able to find larvae of Ruaticns artjns by the 

 groups of ants attendant upon each larva. — Dr. Chapman, (1) Ophiodes 

 Imiaiis; (2) P. conjdon only 28 mm. in expanse; (B) Colias edasa only 

 37 mm. in expanse; (4) Fsfudophia {Ophiodes} tirrhcea, properly of a 

 North African group ; (5) Marasmarcha fauna, a rare Plume close to M. 

 phcBodactijlus, all from St. Maxime, on the Mediterranean Coast of 

 Prance. — Hy. J. Turner, Hon. Rep. Sec. 



City of London Entomological Society. — September 4f/(, 1906. — 

 Dr. T. A. Chapman, Vice-President, iu the chair. — Mr. A. Bacot 

 exhibited larvte of P. podnlirius in ultimate and penultimate stadii 

 from Switzerland; also a normal specimen of L. quercus bred from a 

 larva that had been subjected to a pressure of about forty atmospheres 

 for several periods of about one hour. — Dr. T. A. Chapman, L. bcetica 

 and L. idas from N. Spain, the latter having hitherto been recorded 

 only from Sierra Nevada. — Mr. J. A. Clark, B. fuliginana taken in St. 

 Katharine Dock, July, 1906. — Mr. C. P. Pickett, A. sijlvata, a long and 

 variable series from Bucks, including many lead-coloured forms ; also 

 a hermaphrodite A. prunaria. — Mr. V. E. Shaw, N. trepida bred from 

 New Forest ova. 



September 18th. — The President in the chair. — Mr. A. Bacot 

 exhibited larva of D.nerii in first stadium, the caudal horn being about 

 half the length of the body. — Rev. C. R. N. Burrows, A. hetidaria, 

 female, intermediate between type and var. doubledcujaria, T. fulva var. 

 concolor, L. exit/ua and M. unmundata, the latter having white band 

 suffused with brown, all from Macking. — Mr. G. G. C. Hodgson, 

 A. aglaia ab., resembling A. adippe, owing to marginal band being 

 lightly marked, especially as regards the intramarginal black lines. — 

 Mr. L. W. Newman, E. autumnaria bred from wild parents, heavily 

 suffused with dark scales ; a series of L. exigua, Isle of Wight, 1906 ; 

 melanic E. atomaria from Bury, Lanes, and a long series of B. notha 

 that had been three years in pupa. — Mr. L. B. Prout, a Ewpithecia 

 which he considered referable to E. satyrata, beaten from juniper near 

 Dorking, and at first believed to be E. helveticaria var. aiceuthata. — 

 Mr. V. E. Shaw, P. leucoplicca taken at sugar in East Kent, June, 1906 ; 

 also A. f/rossidanata abs., from Bexley, with central band on hind 

 wings well defined, but tlie black marginal spots obsolescent. — Mr. 

 Newman reported that larvfB of B. repandata reared on birch had 

 produced a second brood in September, but others fed on hawthorn 

 had made very little progress : also that of about one hundred and 

 twenty pupae of D. falcula sixty emerged in April and the remainder in 

 June. — Rev. C. R. N. Burrrows stated that Rev. G. H. Raynor had 

 bred C. argiolus, female, third brood, resembling spring form. — S. J.
