Exhibitions, etc. 



Mr. Tutt exhibited a series of the ochreous form of 

 Tephrosia bistortata, Goetze, known as var. abietaria, Haw,, 

 captured by Mr. J. Mason in March, 1895 and 1896, near 

 Clevedon, Somerset ; also a specimen of the black-brown 

 ab, passetii, Thierry-Mieg, captured by Major Robertson, at 

 Swansea in March, 1895 ; also a series of the second brood 

 = var. gen. 2, consonaria, St., of the same species bred June 

 16-23rd, 1896, from ova laid by the March Clevedon examples. 

 The small size and dead-white ground-colour is very remark- 

 able in these specimens ; a specimen of the second brood bred 

 from Ramnor, July, 1889, is put in for comparison, as this, 

 although of the same small size, shows the ochreous hue of 

 the spring (abietaria) form. He also exhibited a series of 

 Tephrosia crepuscularia, Hb. (bixindularia , Esp.), from Don- 

 caster, captured by Dr. H. H. Corbett, all from one wood. 

 These were captured in May, 1893-95, and exhibited every 

 grade of variation from the most typical crepiiscularia, Hb., 

 to extreme forms of dclamerensis, B. White. Mr. Tutt said
