 Hymenoptera: — Many dead Vespa vulgaris, — which had probably entered 

 the lamps in order to prey upon the scorched insects already there, and had 

 consequently 7iot been attracted by hght, — and several Ophion obscurum. 

 Various Heraerobiidse and Trichoptera turned up. Among the debris 

 of thousands of Chironoinidm and Calliphora I noted Syrphus rihesii, 

 Eristalis pertinax, and several Homalomyia scalaris in the autumn. Other 

 records are : — One Eiirymene dolobraria, which I have never seen about 

 here, was taken at electric light. About a dozen Smerinthus oceUatus 

 were taken at ditto in the beginning of June. Two nice specimens of 

 Pericallia syringaria were secured at light, whilst sugaring on the 31st of 

 June. Hybernia defoUaria has been taken from a street-lamp this year, 

 but is considered by no means common hereabouts. Pterostoma palpiaa 

 at electric light this year, and Zeuzera pyrina at a lamp in 1893. —

 Augustus Bowles, M.A., of Myddelton House, Waltham Cross, Herts; 

 Mr. E. C, Cotes, of the Indian Museum, Calcutta; Mr. Wolley-Dod, 

 of Calgary, Alberta, Canada ; Mr. Joseph W. Green, of West Lodge, 

 Blackheath, S.E. ; Mr. Henry Keeble, of 10, Coleman Street, E.C. ; 

 and Mr. Thomas Turner, of Cullompton, Devon, were elected Fellows 

 of the Society. Mr. F. Merrifield exhibited hybrids belonging to the 

 genus Satxirnia, obtained by Dr. Standfuss, of Zurich, viz., a male and 

 female hybrid from a male of S. pavonia and a female of S. pyri, to 

 which he had given the name of S. cmilicB ; also hybrids from what 

 Dr. Standfuss described as " a male of Calliniorplia dominula var. 

 per.'iona" (received from Tuscany) and a typical female of C. dominula, 

 to which he had given the name of C. romanovi. Mr. Merrifield 

 remarked that the so-called var. peraona differed entirely from the type 

 of C. dominula. Mr. J. W. Tutt exhibited and read notes on 

 specimens of a very small form of Euchlue, taken in Shropshire by the 

 Eev. F. B. Newnham, who was of opinion that it was distinct from
