and an intermediate form from the Italian Lakes ; also a 

 variety of Lyceena corydon, female, in which the under wing 

 showed a decided blue coloration, taken at Lago di Loppio 

 near Eiva. Dr. Chapman suggested that the affinity between 

 the three named species of Pararye was very close, if the 

 species were not indeed identical. 



Mr. A. J. ScoLLiCK exhibited a specimen of Cethosia cyanea, 

 a species inhabiting India and the Malayan region, which had 

 been taken this year on the wing near Norwich. It was 

 suggested by Mr. Distant that this was a case of accidental 

 importation, probably in the pupal condition. 



Mr. H. Eowlanu-Browx exhibited specimens of Erehia 

 glacialis, taken this year on the Stelvio pass, showing transi- 

 tional forms to the var. alecto. He said that the typical form 

 and the variety were not found flying together, but on opposite 

 sides of the valley. Dr. Chapman observed that the darker 

 specimens approached to the form at first supposed to be 

 E. melas found in the neighbourhood of Campiglio. Specimens 

 of E. ylacialis also exhibited from Saas Fee and Evolena 

 showed marked inferiority in size and brilliancy of colour. 



Mr. W. L. Distant exhibited a piece of Hawkesbury 

 sandstone from Australia, showing the l^orings of Termites, 

 and in connection with the same communicated a note from 

 the Proceedings of the Linntean Society of New South Wales 

 (Pt. Ill, 1899, p. 418), as follows :— 



" Mr. D. Ct. Stead exhibited specimens of Hawkesbury sand- 

 stone (1) From the sea-shore between tide marks showing the 

 tunnelling of Marine Isopods {Sphaeroma) with the living 

 animals hi siW.. : and (2) from the hill-tops overlooking Port 

 Jackson, offering examples of the borings which so often 

 attract notice and the production of which has been attributed 

 to Hymenoptera, and also to the Termites. Since last meeting 

 Mr. Stead reported that he had investigated the matter and 

 that, after breaking up a quantity of stone, he had come upon 

 Termites, of a species at present undetermined, actually at 

 work, of these he exhibited specimens." 



Mr. M. Burr exhibited a male and female specimen of 

 Anisolahis colossea, Dohrn., from New South Wales — the largest 

 known earwiff in the world.
