468 TRANSACTIONS, NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY OF GLASGOW. 
Messrs. James Lang, 17 Stanhope Street, and Thomas W. 
Robertson, 5 Whitehill Gardens, Dennistoun, were elected as 
Ordinary Members, and Mr Alexander 8. MacLean, Greenock, 
was admitted as an Associate. 
Mr. A. Adie Dalglish exhibited Colias edusa, Fab., from 
Stranraer, Wigtownshire, where it had been taken by his 
brother on the 29th August; Hupithecia helveticaria, Bdv., 
from the banks of the Allander, Milngavie, one of its few 
British localities; Phibalapteryx lapidata, Hiib., which, until 
recently, had been considered one of our rarest species of British 
Lepidoptera, and has now occurred on the Lanarkshire, Kilsyth, 
and Campsie Hills, and in several localities in Argyllshire ; 
Hydrella wnca, Linn., from Glenfalloch, where it had been 
first found by him three years ago. The larva of the last- 
named species feeds on Carex sylvatica, Huds. Mr. Dalglish 
also exhibited Scopula decrepitalis, H.-S., which he has taken 
in several localities on the Loch Goil and Arrochar hills, and 
also in Glenfalloch. It occurs in the months of May and June, 
and should be looked for at its food plant, Lastrea spinulosa, 
Presl.

Mr. Robert Brown, M.D., read a paper entitled “ Zermatt and 
the Furka—Botanical Work amongst the High Alps.” Zermatt, 
Dr. Brown declares to be one of the most interesting and 
fruitful fields that could be visited by a geologist or naturalist. 
In 1898, to which his visit referred, the summer heat was late, 
and the winter snows, even in August, lay deep in comparatively 
low places, making it rather difficult to climb and cross 
situations for work which were ordinarily easy to reach—but the 
conditions obtaining brought some advantage, by the lateness in 
flower of many attractive spring plants. Dr. Brown was anxious 
to work the higher slopes, and he found that the most fruitful 
area for collecting was between 7,000 and 10,000 feet in altitude. 
The plants which he exhibited to the meeting were nearly all
