300 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Coremia munitata. — The specimens are very suggestive of C. 

 designata (propugnata) in the style of marking, although the 

 colour is more or less typical. 



Melaiiippe montanata. — In some examples the fascia is ex- 

 ceedingly faint, and the two black spots consequently stand out 

 prominently ; but beyond this there is little of importance in the 

 way of variation. 



Cidaria truncata (russata). — I think I am right in the deter- 

 mination of this species, but it must be admitted that many of 

 the specimens have a very suspicious resemblance to certain 

 forms of C. immanata, especially those with a clearly defined 

 black central fascia.

THE SOUTH LONDON ENTOMOLOGICAL AND NATURAL 

 HISTORY SOCIETY'S EXHIBITION. 



The Annual Exhibition of this Society was held on October 

 17th, at St. Martin's Town Hall, Charing Cross, and was much 

 appreciated by the company who came to see the choice and 

 beautiful specimens which had been tastefully arranged by the 

 Committee. 



It may be well to mention that the object of the Society is 

 to popularize the study of Natural History, and to promote 

 this it holds meetings twice a month, at which papers are read, 

 discussions take place, observations are communicated, and 

 specimens shown and commented on. In the summer time, field 

 meetings are held for the purpose of collecting and observing ; 

 and periodically, admirable and attractive exhibitions, such as 

 the present one, are promoted. The Society's rooms are at 

 Hibernia Chambers, London Bridge, where a large Library and 

 typical collections are kept for members' reference, as well as a 

 lantern for demonstration purposes. At present the number of 

 members is about 200, and the annual subscription is only 

 7s. 6d. The Secretary is Mr. Stanley Edwards, Kidbrooke 

 Lodge, Blackheath. 



In the British section, the President, T. W. Hall, Esq., 

 exhibited a large and valuable collection of butterflies and moths, 

 including a long series of Clwysophanus dispar, now extinct, a
