Colonel Swinhoe remarked that the various species of 

 Neptis were usually protected and imitated by other insects, 

 and did not themselves mimic anything, and that the pattern 

 of the Neptis in question was very common among the butter- 

 flies in the Timor group. Mr. Jenner Weir, Prof. Meldola, 

 Mr. Trimen, and others continued the discussion. 



Mons. A. Wailly exhibited about fifty species of Australian 

 Lepidoptera, mostly from Queensland, and fertile ova of 

 Trilodia varians, which are arranged in small square cells, 

 fastened together in large numbers, and present an appearance 

 quite different from the usual type of lepidopterous ova. 



Mr. F. Merrifield exhibited a series of Drepanafalcataria, 

 half of which had been exposed for a week or two, in March 

 or April, to a temperature of about 77°, and the other half 

 had been allowed to emerge at the natural out-door tempera- 

 ture. The latter insects were in all cases darker than the 

 former, all being equally healthy. Mr. McLachlan, Mr. 

 Barrett, Mr. Jenner Weir, and others took part in the dis- 

 cussion which followed. 



Mr. C. Gr. Barrett exhibited a curious variety of the male 

 of Arctia mendica, bred by the Kev. W. F. Johnson, of Armagh. 



Canon Fowler exhibited the egg-case of a species of Maniidce
