Exhibitions. 



Mr. H. W. Shepheard-Walwyn exhibited a gynandro- 

 raorphous specimen of Euchlo'e cardamines, taken near Win- 

 chester in 1899. The left wings were those of a normal 

 male, the right those of a normal female, with the exception of 

 a splash of orange pigment on the underside of the primary. 



Mr. H. Goss exhibited two male specimens of Saturnia 

 carpini from Essex^ bred on whitethorn, and three males of 

 the same species caught in Surrey by the aid of bred virgin 

 females. He remarked that as a rule bred specimens were 

 smaller than caught ones, but the bred Essex specimens 

 were much larger than those captured in Surrey. The Essex 

 specimens were light in colour, while the Surrey specimens 

 were not only much smaller in size, but vei-y dark, probably 

 because their larvae had fed upon Erica or Galluna. 



Colonel C. Swinhoe announced the emergence of Cossus 

 ligniperda in the Zoological Society's Gardens from a pupa 

 received in a piece of wood from South Africa, and said 

 that it was remarkable that the species should have been 

 introduced there, and then bi^ought back to Great Britain. 



Professor E. B. Poulton, F.R.S., exhibited two Euplceinx 

 captured in Fiji by Professor Gilson, and presented by him to 

 the Hope Department. The species, which belonged to the 

 different genera Nijiara and Deragena, bore the closest super- 

 ficial resemblance to each other, affordingr an interestinsr 

 example of Miillerian or Synaposematic likeness. He pointed 

 out that the resemblance depended largely upon the lengthen- 

 ing inwards of a single conspicuous spot in an outer series, so
