Exhibitions, dc. 



Mr. W. C. Boyd exhibited some specimens of a Crambus from Lowestoft, 

 .which he believed to be a new species allied to C. contaminellus, Hiibn. 



Mr. H. H. Druce exhibited varieties of Argynnis Aglaia, L., and 

 Epinephele Janira, L., taken at St. Moritz, Switzerland. 



Professor Westwood read a letter from Captain Anstruther Thomson, 

 stating that when at Aldershot, on August 14th last, he had observed a 

 specimen of Gonepteryx rhamni with orange spots on the fore wings, as in 

 G. Cleopatra. 



Mr. McLachlan thought it probable that there was a variety of 

 G. rhavmi, distinct from the true G. Cleopatra ; and Mr. Weir stated that 

 many years ago he had observed a specimen in the collection of the late 

 Mr. Ingall, which was intermediate between Rhamni and Cleopatra, and 

 which was stated to have been taken in this country. 



Mr. Weir exhibited a portion of a nest of Termites from S. Africa, iu 

 which had been discovered specimens of the workers and soldiers. Also 

 some specimens of an Eutomostracon, apparently belonging to the genus 

 Limnadia, and another species from the Kalahari Desert, which were 

 taken in pools which had been frequently dry for several years. 



Prof. Westwood made some remarks on a statement of M. Ganeau 

 that Cis boleti, Scop., had been found in great numbers at Port Elizabeth, 

 iu imported boots. 



The Rev. F. B. D. Bickerstaffe sent specimens of Tropicoris nifipes, L., 

 captured at Kensington. 



M. Wailly exhibited a large box of Lepidoptera, principally from 

 Madagascar and New Caledonia, and made some remarks on experiments 

 he had been making in crossing various silk-moths.
