20. Anthrax paniscus, Rossi, one specimen. 
21. Bombylius pictus, Panz., very common. 
22. Bombylius ater, Scop., rare. 
23. Bombylius undatus, very common. 
24. Bombylius, sp. near venosus ?, very common. 
25. Bombylius, sp. near nubilus ?, common. It was hoped 
that the above two species would have been identified 
before being exhibited at the meeting, but two days’ 
work having failed to identify them, they had been 
handed over to Mr. Austen at the British Museum 
who up to that time had failed to identify them. 
26. Pelidnoptera nigripennis, Fabr., one specimen. Though a 
widely-distributed species, it appears to be nowhere 
common. 
27. Limnia, sp. ? bivittata, Macq., a few. 
28. Platystoma, sp. near wmbrarum but distinct—rare. It 
does not seem to agree with any described species. 
Mr. Barrett showed the following aberrant forms of 
British species of Lepidoptera :— 
Cynthia cardui—with a white ground. (Boynton, York- 
shire—the Rev. G. M. Smith) : 
Vanessa C-album—greatly clouded with black, the black 
spots shaded off and the marginal markings altered into 
ill-defined clouds. (Sandhurst, Gloucestershire—W. H. J ones) : 
Melitea artemis—almost devoid of markings, pale chestnut. 
(Gloucester—the Rev. G. M. Smith) : 
Clisiocampa neustria 9 —a very fine specimen with the 
forewings of unusual breadth, wholly of a rich red colour, 
with the bands of the forewings but little darker. (Gloucester— 
E. W. Lifton) : 
Nemeophila plantaginis  —fore- and hindwings suffused 
with smoky-black, through which the usual markings were 
distinct. (Gloucester—C. G. Clutterbuck) : 
Ditto. 9 —four with orange-red hindwings, and a stripe of 
the same colour along the costa of the forewings. (Gloucester— 
E. W. Lifton) :
