Wr. Mathew also exhibited a series of twenty-four Camj'to- 

 (jramma fluviata, the descendants of a wild pair caj tured on 

 September 22nd, 1903. The female laid a batch of eggs 

 which began to hatch October 2nd, and the moths emeiged 

 during the middle of N'ovember, and from these more ova 

 were obtained and successive broods were reared during 

 January, April, June, and August, after which date no further 

 attempts were made to continue the brood, as the imagines 

 were becoming undersized, and of the last brood but a very 

 small proportion of the pupie produced moths. The specimens 

 were contained in a small exhibition-box, and were arranged 

 in four rows as follows : — 



1st row. Six males with broad dark brown central fascia. 

 2nd row. Two males with broad dark brown fascia and con- 

 spicuous pearl-grey margins. 

 One male with central fascia broken. 

 Two males with central fascia nearly obsolete. 

 One male of a warm reddish-brown, central fascia very faint, 

 and with pearl-grey margins. 

 3rd row. Three typical females. 



Three females of a claret colour, with conspicuous dark fascia. 

 4th row. Three females sepia-bi'own, with conspicuous white 

 discal spots in the centre of dark fascia.
