Exiiibitions, dc. 



Mr. C. Fenn exhibited and remarked on specimens of Fai- 

 pitJiecia satijrata, Eitdnrea amhif/udlis, and Tartrix riburnana 

 from the neighbourhood of Darhngton. 



Mr. H. Goss exhibited, on behalf of Mr. Martin Stanger 

 Higgs, a remarkable variety of Melitaa auriiiia (artemis), 

 taken a few years ago, in Gloucestershire, by Mr. Joseph 

 Merrin. 



Mr. Stevens stated that he had recently been to Liverpool, 

 where he had seen the collection of the late Mr. Kobertsou, 

 of Limehouse, which was still in fine condition, and con- 

 tained a long series of Pohjommatns dispar. 



The Eev. Dr. Walker communicated some observations on 

 the Entomology of Iceland, and gave an account of his 

 recent travels in that island. He stated that he had taken 

 Boinbus terrestris this year, for the first time, in the north 

 of Iceland (from which quarter of the island it had not 

 been recorded by Dr. Staudinger), namely, at Akureyri at 

 the southern end of the Eyjafjordr, 28 miles from the Arctic 

 Ocean, and at Glarufoss, the picturesque waterfall, an hour's 

 walk from Akureyri. He also referred to his visit to Berufjordr 

 on the east coast, and to Husavik on the north coast, two fjords 

 which he had not landed at in 1889, which made a total of 

 sixteen fjords that he had scientifically visited. In reference 

 to Husavik, ho said he had been prevented by the rough sea 

 and hopelessly wet weather from landing there in 1889, 

 and also on his first voyage round Iceland this year, from 

 the fact that the steamer anchored there too early in the 

 morning, and then only at the entrance of Husavik Bay to 

 allow of some Faroese quitting the steamer in their rowing- 

 boat. On the second voyage round Iceland this year he 

 succeeded in landing, and found insects far more plentiful
