EKnromotoeicaL Society or Lonpon.——October 5th, 1892.-—-Henry 
John Elwes, Esq., F.L.8., Vice-President, in the chair. Mr. W. H. 
Yondale, F.R.M.S., of Cockermouth, was elected a Fellow. Mr. C. O. 
Waterhouse exhibited a specimen of Latridius nodifer feeding on a 
fungus, l'richosporium roseum. The Rev. A. E. Eaton sent for exhibi- 
tion the male specimen of Elenchus tenuicornis, Kirby, taken by him on 
the 22nd August last, at Stoney Stoke, near Shepton Montague, 
Somerset, and described by him in the ‘ Entomologist’s Monthly 
Magazine,’ Oct. 1892, pp. 250-253. Mr. McLachlan stated that another 
specimen of this species had been caught about the same date in Clay- 
gate Lane, near Surbiton, by Mr. Kdward Saunders, who discovered 
that it was parasitic on a homopterous insect of the genus Liburnia, 
and had also described it in the Ent. Mo. Mag., pp. 249-250. Mr. 
J. M. Adye exhibited, for Mr. McRae, a large collection of Colias edusa 
and the var. helice, and Colias hyale, all taken in the course of five days’ 
collecting in the neighbourhood of Bournemouth and Christchurch, 
Hants. ‘There were twenty-six specimens of the variety helice, some of 
which were remarkable both in size and colour. He stated that Mr. 
McRae estimated the proportion of the variety helice to the type of the 
female as one in fifty. Mr. Adye also exhibited two specimens of 
Deiopeia pulchella, recently taken near Christchurch. The Chairman, 
Mr. Hanbury, Mr. Jenner Weir, and Mr. Merrifield commented on 
the interesting nature of the exhibition, and on the recent extra- 
ordinary abundance of Colias edusa and the var. helice, which was 
probably not exceeded in 1877. Mr. Dallas Beeching exhibited four 
specimens of Plusia moneta, lately taken in the neighbourhood of Tun- 
bridge Wells. My. Gervase F. Mathew sent for exhibition two speci-
