Exhibitions, dc. 



Mr. J. W. Slater exhibited a specimen of Polyommatus chryseis, Hiib., 

 captured on Cultor Moor, Aberdeenshire, in July, 1878, by Mr. James 

 Mutch. The occurrence had not been previously recorded, as the captor 

 was not aware of the rarity of the species ; two other specimens were seen 

 in the same locality. 



Capt. H. J. Elwes said the specimen greatly resembled the boreal form 

 P. Stieberi, Gerh., which is uncommon in Lapland, and this fact tended to 

 confirm the genuineness of the capture. Messrs. Staintou and Weir also 

 made some remarks on the exliibit. 



Rev. A. Fuller exhibited a collection of insects, particularly rich in 

 Lepidoptera, captured along the line of the Canadian Pacific Railway during 

 his visit to the Rocky Mountains after last year's meeting of the British 

 Association at Montreal.
