A DraGonFruy at SeA.—The dragonfly taken at sea mentioned 
on p. 39 has been kindly identified for me by Mr. W. J. Lucas. It 
is a fully coloured male of Sympetruwm scoticum. It was taken 
between Revel and Helsingfors, the former name being previously 
misprinted as “ Kevel.’”—Joun B. Hicks; Stoneleigh, Hlmfield Road, 
Bromley, Kent, Jan. 8th, 1914.

SOCIETIES. 
LANCASHIRE AND CHESHIRE ENTOMOLOGICAL Society.—November 
17th, 1918.—The President in the chair—Mr. W. Bowater, 
B.D.S., F.E.S., Brandon Lodge, Russell Road, Moseley, Birming- 
ham, and Arnold W. Hughes, 33, Lacy Road, Everton, Liverpool, 
were elected members of the Society.—Dr. P. F. Tinne read a 
paper entitled ‘Insects concerned in the Pollination of Plants,” 
in which he dealt very thoroughly with the part played by 
insects in this important process. Dr, Tinne gave many interesting 
examples, chiefly drawn from the Hymenoptera and Lepidoptera, as 
to the methods of the various species; he described the structure of 
the floral organs of plants which facilitated the operations of the 
insect principally concerned in the pollination; and also indicated 
how unwelcome or inefficient visitors were repelled and imprisoned 
or otherwise prevented from interfering with the process.—The fol- 
lowing exhibits were made :—By Mr. W. A. Tyerman—A fine bred 
series of Notodonta dromedarius var. perfusca, Dianthecia nana, 
D. cucubali, and Phibalapteryx vittata, from the Southport district ; 
also Sphinx convoluuli, Nemeophila plantaginis, and Callimorpha 
dominula. A specimen of Cherocampa neri, captured by a farmer 
near Ainsdale on September 14th, 1913; it was in a very dilapidated 
condition, but easily recognisable, and it forms a very interesting 
addition to our county list—Mr. W. Mansbridge showed a short 
series of Thera variata and pale forms of 7’. obeliscata for com- 
parison.— Wm. Manssrince, Hon. Sec.
