Zygenides," from Turbie, were also shown ; and Mr. Tutt, in 

 bringing this interesting series of exhibits to a close, ex- 

 pressed thanks to M. Oberthiir for his kindness in sending 

 them, and regretfully pointed out that the antenna) of several 

 of the specimens had suffered in transit. 



Mr. Tutt next exhibited specimens of Anthrocera Jilipenduloe, 

 captured by Mr, W. H. Harwood near Colchester, which 

 showed remarkable colour-aberrations extending from terra- 

 cotta red to orange as described at length in the account 

 which he had recently given of the genus. He remarked 

 on the peculiarity of these specimens inasmuch as they 

 appeared more closely to resemble Lederer's well-known 

 Asiatic races of the species than any other yet described. 



Mr. A. H. Jones exhibited a fine specimen of Cordyceps 

 hiigelii, Corda, one of the Pyrenomycetous fungi which are 

 parasitic in the caterpillars and pupje of butterflies and other 

 insects, this specimen being attached to the larva of Charagia 

 virescens 1
