Exhibitions, etc. 



Mr. Percy H. Grimshaw exhibited specimens of Cephenomyia 

 ni/iharbis, Meigen, a new British Bot-fly parasitic on the 

 Red Deer. He said that the specimens were collected by 

 Mr. L. W. Hinxman, in Ross-shire, in June and July, 1894, 

 and in the Cairngorm Mountains, in 1895. 



Mr. C. G. Barrett exhibited, for Mr. Porritt, a black variety 

 of Polia flavicincta, taken at sugar in his garden at Hudders- 

 field ; a variety of Cosmia trapezina with a blue-black central 

 band ; and a variety of Mania tijpica, with pinkish-white 

 central markings, bred by Mr. Turnstall of Huddersfield. 



Mr. A. H. Jones exhibited specimens of the following 

 butterflies captured at Coomassie by Major Henry P. North- 

 cott during the recent expedition, viz., Papilio zenobia, 

 Elymnias bammakoo, Limnas alcippm, Romaleosoma f/aiisaj)e 

 (var.), Catuna ccenobita, Terias senyalensis, and Neptis nemetes. 



Sir John T. D. Llewelyn, Bart., M.P., exhibited specimens 

 of a small species of Diptera which he believed to be parasitic 

 on Trochilium sphef/ifonue as he had bred a number from that 

 species. He remarked that T. splmjiforme, although one of 

 the most local and rarest moths in this country, had occurred 

 last year on the estate of Sir James Hills-Johnes, K.C.B., 

 at Dolau Cothy, Carmarthenshire, in such numbers in the 

 larval state as almost to destroy the whole of the alders 

 growing there. Mr. G. H. Verrall said that the insects 

 belonged to a species of Phnra, possibly PJwra nifipes, which 

 fed on almost everything but were not considered to be 

 truly parasitic ; they seemed blacker than typical specimens 

 of that species. 



Mr. Hampson exhibited an exotic species of Locustidfe 

 which Lord Walsingham had found in his conservatory at 

 Merton Hall, Norfolk. He stated that Lord Walsingham 

 had not imported any exotic plants for some years.
