rally rub against part of the costa of the hindwing, but no 
spines or unusual roughening seem to exist on that or on 
any of the veins on the upper side of the hindwing against 
which they could strike; below the scar is situated a large 
shallow fovea or pit in the membrane, slightly developed in 
dotata and flavata, but much more prominently in the two 
Japanese species, and, should the organ prove to be for 
stridulation, it would probably act as a sounding-board. Mr. 
Hampson said that in the Japanese species C. fivsent, Brem, 
exceedingly closely allied to flavata, the males have no trace 
of this organ; and he hoped that entomologists who have an 
opportunity of observing dotata in life would make some 
experiments on living specimens during the ensuing summer; 
probably confining males and females together would lead to 
some results. The President, Prof. E. B. Poulton, Lord 
Walsingham, and Mr. Hampson took part in the discussion 
which ensued.
