Mr. Goss stated that in his experience of V. c-albwm in North- 
amptonshire, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, and Monmouth- 
shire, the form with the pale under side was the first brood, 
occurring in June and July; and that the second brood, 
occurring from the end of July to October, was invariably 
dark on the under side. Mr. Jacoby, Mr. Merrifield, and the 
President continued the discussion. 
Mr. A. H. Jones exhibited Lepidoptera collected in Corsica 
in June last, including dark forms of Polyommatus phleas 
(Vizzavona); Lycena astrarche, in which the orange marginal 
band is very brilliant on upper and under sides of both wings 
(Vizzavona); Lycena argus, the females of which are much 
suffused with blue, probably var. calliopis (Tattone); a series 
of Vanessa urtice var. ichnusa, bred from larve found at 
Vizzavona (4000 feet); Argynnis elisa, Satyrus semele var. 
aristeus, Satyrus neomiris, Cenonympha corinna, both spring 
and summer brood (Vizzavona); Syrichthus sao var. therapne, 
and many others. 
Mr. G. C. Champion exhibited, for Mr. G. A. J. Rothney, 
a number of Methoca ichneumonides, Latr. (female), taken at 
Bexhill, Sussex, showing great variation from the usual large 
black and red form to a small and nearly black one. 
Dr. D. Sharp exhibited a pupa of Galleria melonella, on 
which the eggs of a parasitic Hymenopteron, as he believed, 
had been deposited while the insect was in the cocoon. He 
also exhibited, from the collection of Alexander Fry, Ksq., 
the hitherto unique Aprostoma planifrons, Westw. The genus 
was correctly assigned by Westwood to the Colydiide, though 
described as a Brenthid. 
Mr. J. J. Walker exhibited specimens of the following 
species of Halobates, viz.:—H. sericeus, Tisch., from the 
Pacific; H. sobrinus, B. White, from Marquesas Islands ; 
H., wiillerstorfi, Esch., from Marquesas Islands; H. princeps, 
White, from the China Sea; and a female of H. wiillerstorfi, 
with ova attached. 
Mr. W. H. B. Fletcher showed a variable series of 75 
Cymatophora or, bred in 1898 from larve from Sutherland, a 
series of about 40 C. ocularis bred-in from stock from Oundle. 
Also a series of 83 moths, all females, supposed to be hybrids
