86 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



1903 ; and a uniformly smoky example of Lvjclia aditstata, taken at 

 Bexley in March, 1903. — Mr. Chittenden, Heodes (Chn/f^nphanua) phheas, 

 light aud dark forms, from Kent ; Hiydriomena (Hypsipetea) sordidata, 

 dark from Yorkshire, and red-barred from Ashford ; and black-fringed 

 Spilosoma Ixihricipeda var. zatima. — Mr. McArthur, a very pale example 

 of Amorpha {Smerinthus) popiili, and a very strongly suffused reddish 

 example ; with a photograph of a Pieris rapa, having two large black 

 spots on the under side of the left lower wing. — Mr. R. Adkin, 

 examples of Arf/i/nnia aglaia from Brigliton, with the black markings 

 on the upper side elongated and joined up, as were also some of the 

 silvery markings of the under side ; also several richly coloured 

 females ; a partially bleached female of Epinephde jnrtina {ianira) ; a 

 Cleora (ilahraria with a much extended series of black markings ; a 

 hybrid Smerinthus ocellatus-pnpuli, bred Jvily, 1903, from a 1901 larva ; 

 and a long series of Boarmia repandata from various localities, to show 

 local variation. — Dr. Chapman, a large number of specimens of H. 

 phJceas, taken in various parts of Western Europe, especially to illus- 

 trate the geographical and seasonal variation rather than the possible 

 aberrational variation. He discussed the named forms — var. suffusa, 

 var. eleus, and var. Jn/pophleaft — with regard to size, form, tail develop- 

 ment, and colour. — Mr. Simmonds, a long series of the rare CucuUia 

 <inaph(dii from Sevenoaks ; a variety of Epunda lichenea without the 

 usual reddish or greenish markings, perhaps corresponding to var. caJve- 

 scens of P.flavicincta. — Mr. Colthrup, long and varied series of Bryophila 

 perla and B. mnralis, the various shades of green ; a pink form, from 

 the Isle of Wight ; a black form ; very dark forms from South Devon, 

 and most of the named forms of the latter species, including var. 

 jiar; of the former species were many pale, dark, and suffused forms. — 

 Mr. G. B. Browne, varied forms of Aplecta prasina, Polyommatus icarus, 

 H. phlceas, Camptoyramma hilineata (banded), Melanthia ocellata (dark 

 black band), and a brown form of Tmniocampa munda. — Mr. Main, a 

 living example of Blatta amtraJasm, found among imported bananas. 

 Mr. Dodds, some very remarkable and aberrant bred male forms of 

 Ocneiia dispar, having numerous irregular patches and streaks of light 

 colour on all four wings. The species had been inbred for three years. 

 — Mr. Pickett, series of E. jnrtina with bleached vars. ; of Polyommatus 

 corydon with vars. and abs. ; stiffma, maryinata, obsoleta, atriata, &c., with 

 dwarf examples ; very deep-banded females of Cyanins aryudus ; various 

 local races of H. phlceas ; Callimorpha domiruda with much suffused 

 hind wings ; Abraxas grossidariata with var. lacticolor, and a very dark 

 form; long series of forms of Anyerona primaria, including numerous 

 beautifully banded examples ; a long and graduated series of Arctia 

 lubricipeda and var. radiata, some being exceptionally dark ; and a 

 curiously marked Arctia caia with streaked arrangement of the mark- 

 ings. — Mr. Moore, H. phlceas from the Himalaya Mountains and from 

 North America (Indiana to Cape Breton) ; the former was an exceed- 

 ingly dark example, while the latter were much like the Lapland forms 

 in Dr. Chapman's exhibit. — Mr. Carpenter, series of H. phlceas, bred, 

 from Abbot's Wood, Folkestone, and Bude, each of which showed a 

 racial facies, although the divergence was but small. — Mr. Mont- 

 gomery, long series of H. phlceas, including many pale and sparsely
