var. charlotta, taken by the late Rev. James Watson in the 
New Forest in 1870. 
Mr. J. A. Clark exhibited a curious variety of Chelonia caja, 
having an extraordinary wedge-shaped marking extending 
from the outer margin to the base of the left hindwing, and 
also, on the same wing, a small spot. It was brown and 
white in colour, and had the appearance of having been taken 
from the forewing and inserted in the hindwing. The 
specimen was said to have been taken at Abbotts Wood, 
Sussex, in July, 1892. 
Prof. EK. B. Poulton exhibited living specimens of the larve 
of Gastropacha quercifolia, surrounded respectively during the 
early stages of growth by black twigs and lichen-coloured 
twigs, the food being the same in both cases. All the larvee 
were shown upon a white paper back-ground, but examples of 
the surrounding twigs which produced the change of colour 
were shown beside each batch. Mr. Merrifield made some 
remarks on the subject.
