ABERRATIONS OF COCCINELLA BIPUNCTATA.—In walking from 
Harrow to Pinner on September 20th last I had occasion to cross

examine the specimens, with the result that I selected twenty 
aberrations in about half-an-hour. These were ab. bisculata (7), 
unifasciata (1), inequalis (2), annulata (1), pantherina (2), 6-pustu-
