Exhibitions, dc. 



Mr. E. Meyrick exhibited a number of specimens of Kupmctin 

 fuh'iceps, Walk., taken by Mr. Barnard, showing the extra- 

 ordinary variation of this Tasmanian species, all the males 

 of which had been " sembled " by one female. The males 

 were represented by various forms ranging from black to 

 white, which had all been described as distinct species. Dr. 

 Sharp, Mr. Hampson, Mr. McLachlan, Colonel Swinhoe, 

 Mr. Elwes, Mr. Tutt, Mr. Poulton, and Mr. Jacoby took part 

 in the discussion which ensued. 



Dr. Sharp exhibited samples of pins which he had tried 

 for preventing verdigris, and stated that annealed silver- Avire 

 was the best material to use, as insects on silver pins remained 

 intact, whilst those on gilt pins were destroyed by verdigris. 



Mr. G. T. Porritt exhibited a series of specimens repre- 

 senting Huddersfield forms of Polia chi, including nearly 

 melanic specimens, found there during the last two seasons. 

 He said these forms had not hitherto been observed else- 

 where. 



Mr. Tutt exhibited a series of Hadena pisi, comprising 

 specimens very grey in tint, others of an almost unicolorous 

 red with but faint markings, and others well marked with 

 ochreous transverse lines. Three distinct forms of Eadena 

 dissimilis ; red and grey forms of Panolis piniperda, and a dark 

 form of Eupithecia fraxinata ; also a specimen of SciapJiila

 taken in Anglesey, all the specimens were taken or bred by 

 Mr. Tunstall in the neighbourhood of Warrington.

 A. lachesis, A. psyche, A. thetis, and other species of the genus
