between July 30th and August 2ncl. The hybrid pi-esented 

 some of the markings of each of its parents, the cresentic 

 blotch at the apex of the fore-wings, and the band on the 

 hind-wings closely following tetrakonaria, but no trace of the 

 dark spot usually so distinct on each of the wings of that 

 species, especially in the summer emergence, was visible, while 

 the "second line" of the fore-wings closely followed hilunaria. 

 In colour it more nearly resembled that of the summer brcod 

 of tetralunaria. 



Mr. A. J. Chitty exhibited a number of insects, taken, 

 between September 22nd and October 7th last, from a decayed 

 fence or hedge made of different kinds of wood, with the bark 

 left on. The uprights of the hedge were chiefly of birch. The 

 exhibit comprised about a hundred species, of wljich seventy- 

 nine or eighty were Coleoptera. Four species of beetles, viz. 

 two species of PoyonocJierus, the scarce Microce pi talus albinus, 

 and the extremely rare Trojnderes niveirostris, mimicked 

 the surroundings of lichen-covered bark, and one, Acalles 

 turhalu!<, I'esembled buds. Of the rest, there were five species 

 of Droiiiius, A)iisoj'i/a fascida, III., Orchesla minor, Clinocara 

 tetramera, Thoms., and Tetratoma ancora.
