galls received from Mr. Cockerell, who had collected them on 

 a species of sallow in Colorado. He also exhibited three 

 species of Iclineumonidm new to Britain, viz., Iclmeiimon 

 Haglundi, Holmg, bred by Messrs. Adkin and Barker from 

 Arctia fuliginosa; Phygadeuon rufo-niger, Bridg., taken at 

 Ashdown Forest in November, 1885 ; and Phygadeuon sodalis, 

 Tasch., taken at Dulwich in June, 1889. He said that two of 

 these species had been described by Mr. Bridgman, in Part IV. 

 of the ' Transactions of the Entomological Society ' for 1889. 

 Mr. C. G. Barrett exhibited specimens of Bnjotropha 

 ohscurella, Hein., received from Darlington, and the neigh- 

 bourhood of Windermere. He also exhibited specimens of 

 DorypJiora elongella, Hein., from Pembroke, and remarked 

 that both species were new to the British list.

Colonel Swinhoe read the following " Notes on certain 

 species of the genus Euthalia " : — " In 1859 Mr. Moore de- 

 scribed a female of the genus Euthalia as Adolias sedeva in 

 Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. p. 68, pi. 4, f. 3 ; and in 1865 he 

 described a male Euthalia as Adolias balarama in P. Z. S., 

 1865, p. 766, pi. 41, f. 3. Mr. de Niceville, in his ' Butter- 

 flies of India,' vol. ii. p. 207, puts E. sedeva as a female 

 variety of E. appiades of Menetrie's ; in p. 208 he enters E. 

 balarama as a separate species doubtfully, and remarks as 

 follows: — ' The female of E. balarama, should it ever be dis- 

 covered, is almost certain to have the outer discal band on 

 both wings straight. My knowledge of E. balarama is con- 

 fined to what has been pubhshed regarding it, but I have a 

 suspicion that it is a " sport " only of E. appiades. Mr. 

 Moore believes E. balarama to be a good species of which his 

 E. sedeva is the female, but I cannot agree with him; E. 

 sedeva is inseparable from the normal form of E. appiades 

 female, in which the white spots are obsolete.' 



About two years ago the Indian Museum, Calcutta, gave 

 me a quantity of old duplicates in paper envelopes, collected 

 in several localities, and only quite recently have I been 

 able to get the opportunity of having them relaxed and 

 pmned out. Though most of them are old and worn, and
