Exhibitions. 



Mr. L. B. Prout exhibited on behalf of Mr. J. P. Mutch, 

 of Hornsey Road, London, N., a specimen of {a) Vanessa 

 {Eugonia) iwlyrJiloros, L., a $ bred by Mr. H. Baker from a 

 pupa from Stowmarket, Suffolk, the ground-colour of which 

 was much darkened and the black markings somewhat en- 

 larged, etc. ; suggesting perhaps the influence of cold at the 

 time of pupation (compare Tr. Ent. Soc, 1894, p. 431, etc.). 

 He also exhibited an aberrant specimen of {h) ChrysopJunw^ 

 pJilxas, L., captured in the Isle of "Wight, in August, 1901, 

 much suffused with dark colour, especially at the outer 

 margin and on the hiudwings, only a very small patch of the 

 red colour remaining at the inner angle of the latter; also 

 a perfectly-halved gynandromorphous example of {c) Ayrotis 

 jmta, Hb., the I'ight side S , the left side ? , taken in August, 

 1901, in the Isle of Wight. He also showed a specimen of 

 (c?) Noctua sobrina, Gn., an aberrant specimen with white 

 antennre and a somewhat hoary appearance on the forewings, 

 taken in East Aberdeenshire, in August, 1900.
