Mr. Briggs exhibited bred specimens of Zygena Meliloti, accompanying 
them with the following remarks :— 
“In 1872 and 18738 I reared young larve of Z. Meliloti from the New 
Forest, up to and through hybernation, but they died in the following 
springs; and these larvee, from the minuteness of the markings on the 
ground colour, showed a great distinction from the young larve of Z. Tri- 
folii of the same age. 
“Last year (1874) I found small specimens of Z. Trifolii in company 
with Z. Meliloti. I therefore took especial care that the eggs I reared were 
from four typical pairs of (the New Forest) Z. Meliloti, found in copula; 
the eggs were (in all four cases) larger than the eggs of Z. Trifoliima 
peculiarity I had remarked in previous years. Several of the moths I found 
difficult to refer with any degree of certainty to either (?) species. In the 
autumn many of the young larve had developed markings like those of 
Z. Trifolii. 
“This spring (having failed in my two previous attempts), I put the 
Z. Meliloti, of which about thirty out of three hundred survived the winter,
