Exhibit ions. 



Mr. H. J. Elwes, F.R.S., exhibited a small collection of 

 butterflies made in July last in Saltdalen, Norway, within the 

 Arctic Circle. Owing to the continued dull, Avet weather and 

 extreme lateness of the season he had not procured some of 

 the arctic fjeld butterflies which occur there, such as C'olias 

 hecla, C. werdandi and Lycsena aquilo. 



He said that it was remarkable to find such plants as Cypre- 

 pedium ccdceolns, and such butterflies as Pararge mscra in this 

 high northern latitude close to such arctic insects as Erebia 

 disa, of which he took a fine series on the one fine day that 

 occurred during his stay. He also took a series of Cartero- 

 cepludus Sylvius, which, so far as he knew, had been taken no- 

 where else in Norway. Pieris rapx was in the female sex 

 extremely variable, here some of them, though much suffused, 

 being more like Scotch specimens than the var. hryonix which 

 is found in the Alps and in the extreme north of Norway. 



Mr. A. J. Chitty exhibited living specimens of Anthribus 

 albinus, showing the way in which this beetle mimics its sur- 

 roundings. The resemblance to the lichened bark was most 

 striking, the species choosing the inside holes of hazel twigs 

 intertwined in hedges, and generally covered with lichen.
