Mr. A. F. GrifBtli exhibited two specimens of Myelois 

 pryerella, male and female, taken in the London Docks in 

 the autumn of 1888 ; also a series of M. cemtonm, kindly 

 lent by Mr. B. A. Bower for comparison, shewing the former 

 species to be not only much paler and without the discoidal 

 spots on the fore wing, but also much shorter and broader in 

 the fore wing. He also exhibited two Penthina grevillana taken 

 in Sutherlandshire, with a row of P. pralongana from the 

 same locahty, and also a row of P. sauciana var. Staintoniana 

 kindly lent by Mr. Bower for comparison; the grevillana 

 appearing to be intermediate between the other two species, 

 approximating to prceJongana in the shape of the wings, and to 

 sauciana in the markings. He said that he had not met with 

 the latter species in Sutherland. Mr. Griffith further ex- 

 hibited a row of a species of Peronea bred from larvas taken 

 by himself on Myrica gale and bilberry in Sutherland, in 

 1889, approximating to comparana, perplexana and comariana ; 

 six specimens of Symmoca signatella taken in the London 

 Docks among cork (both the genus and the species having 

 now been for the first time detected in Britain) ; three 

 specimens of a species of Kphestia apparently allied to Jicella 

 and kuhniella, taken by the exhibitor in the London Docks 

 in 1888, and apparently new to Britain ; also a nondescript 

 specimen taken at Tan y Grisiau in North Wales, in August, 

 1886, at rest on a slate fence. He pointed out that the 

 specimen was a female, partaking of the appearance of a Chilo, 

 and said that Mr. W. Warren had promised to examine it. 

 Mr. Griffith also exhibited three specimens of the form of 

 Exapate found among fir and named diiratella, together with 

 a pair of ordinary gelatella bred from larvae taken on M. gale, 

 in Sutherland. He remarked that though these latter are 

 darker than our southern forms, the specimens from fir are of 

 a very distinctly unicolorous appearance, and dusky brownish, 

 instead of warm grey. The three specimens exhibited were 

 taken in a fir-wood near Aberdeen, by Mr, A. Home, in Novem- 

 ber, 1884. He further exhibited one specimen of Incurvaria 

 tenuifornis and four Ncmoplwra pUella, taken in Sutherland, 

 and the three original specimens of Ornix fagivora, bred from 

 larvae found near Cambridge ; also specimens (two from
