dififerent genera, but that they appeared to belong to different 

 tribes — Enodia hijperanthus being in the Ctcnonymphidi and 

 Ejrinephele ianira in the EpinepheUdi {vide Entom. Kecord, 

 vii., p. 301). He also exhibited living pup^ of Thccla pruni 

 which had been sent to him by Mr. H. Mousley. He called 

 attention to the great resemblance that the pupa bore, in its 

 dorsal aspect, to a bird dropping. Black in ground colour, the 

 two whitish prothoracic patches and the similarly coloured 

 metathoracic patch which extend transversely across the 

 constricted waist, give it a resemblance that cannot be mis-

Mr. Blandford exhibited living specimens of Callidiwn 

 variabile, L., bred from the bark of beech timber from 

 Blenheim Park. 



Mr. A. J. Chitty exhibited two specimens of Osphya hi-

Canon Fowler exhibited specimens of Xylctinus atcr, Panz ,

Mr. Tutt, having carefully examined the specimens 

 of Lciicania fiavicolor, said that he considered it as highly
