10 PEOCEEDIN'GS OF THE 



IQth October, 1874 (Evening Meeting, held after the Annual 

 General Meeting). — A large collection of Fungi was exhibited, chiefly 

 contributed by Dr. Bossey and Messrs. Crosfield and Kensitt. 



ISth November, 1874. — Subject for the evening, " Lepidoptera 

 captured during the past Season." 



The following, amongst others, were placed on the table : — A long 

 and varied series of Boarmia cinctaria and Zygana Meliloti, from the 

 New Forest ; series of Larentia casiata and Cidaria pojmlata, from 

 Scotland ; Acldalia emutaria, from the New Forest and Gravesend ; 

 Homceosoma sinuella, H. binavella, H. setiecionis, Catoptria cceci- 

 maculana, and other Tortrices ; Coleoj^hora consjnciiella , a rare Tinea, 

 that has not been taken for some years ; varieties of Arge Galathea 

 (Marbled White), Pohjommatus Phlaas (Copper), Ennomos angularia 

 and Hemeroj^hila abruptaria, by Mr. Sydney Webb, as well as the 

 following species, new to the district, for record, viz.: — 



Ehodophaa suavella, Zin., and Ephestia pinguis, Haw. Taken at 

 light, Redstone Hill, 1874. 



Eubolia lignata, Hub. Two dead specimens found in lamp at 

 Eedbiil Station. 



Mr. Turner exhibited a collection, amongst which was a male 

 variety of Satynis Semele, and a specimen of Gnophos obscnrata, from 

 Redhill Common. This last clears up an error in our lists — G. pul- 

 laria (probably named from Stainton's 'Manual') being inserted in 

 Brewer's ' Fauna of Reigate.' The true G. p)nUaria is not British. 



Among Mr. Linnell's exhibitions was a Charocampa porcellus 

 (Small Elephant), in good condition and of large size. 



Mr. Webb read a statement of observations he had made with 

 reference to the occurrence of Lepidoptera, pointing out the meteoro- 

 logical and other influences of last year, which had been expected to 

 have some effect upon this season's collecting, comparing them with 

 the year's result, and giving a short account of the principal captures 

 recorded.
