Meeting held at Reigate, April 23rd, 1909. 
Present about 13 members and friends. 
Mr. A. E. Tonge exhibited the hibernated larva of the Pur- 
ple Emperor Butterfly (Afatma Iris) from the New Forest, 
which had been slieved on a growing sallow bush in a Reigate 
garden for seven months and were now little, if any, larger than 
when put in, but had just wakened up and recommenced feed-

William Whitaker, Esq., B.A., F.R.S., F.G.S., gave an admir- 
able geological lecture, based on a fine series of geological 
photographs, which when seen on the sheet as lantern slides, 
beautifully illustrated the various geological processes that he 
described. It was a matter of regret that so few availed them- 
selves of the opportunity of hearing this lecture. A vote of 
thanks to Mr. Whitaker (who had come at some personal in- 
convenience) and one to the Head-master for allowing us to 
meet at the Grammar School, concluded the proceedings.

Since last year’s Report was submitted to the Club, six new 
subscribers have been elected, but as one member and seven 
subscribers have resigned, and one member and one subscriber 
have left the neighbourhood, the total membership is reduced 
to 83, as against 87 last year. This year we have again had kind 
permission from the Head-master to meet at the Grammar School, 
and we beg to tender him our cordial thanks for his hospitality.

portion of our members would bring specimens that they have
