Exhibitions. 



Living Tropical Buprestid. — Mr. 0. O. Waterhouse 

 exhibited a living Buprestid beetle of the genus Chrysohothris, 

 found in an orchid-house in the north of London. It was 

 probably Brazilian, but there was nothing quite like it in the 

 Natural History Museum. 



Parnassius from the Swiss Juras. — Mi-. A. E. Gibbs 

 brought for exhibition a case containing a series of Parnassius 

 ajyollo taken by him this year in the Vallee de Joux, Swiss 

 Juras, at 3,300 feet, and at Eclepens. He pointed out that the 

 usual form found in the Jura has a tendency toward the 

 form known as ab. pseudonomion, and this is more strongly 

 marked in examples from the lower level at Eclepens. 



Hungarian Butterflies. — Mr. W. G. Sheldon showed a 

 seriesof characteristic butterflies collected by him in Juneof this 

 year at Herculesbad, South-eastern Hungary. They included 

 examples of JVepiis lucilla, N. aceris, Melanargia galatea var. 

 jyrocida, Erehia medusa, var. j^^odea, and Pararge roxelana as 

 described by him in the current volume of "The Entomologist." 



Professor E. B. Poulton, F.R.S., exhibited a set of three 

 species of Planema (Acraeinae), with their Nymphaline and 

 Papilionine mimics, all captured on the same day in a small 

 isolated patch of forest about a mile and a half from Entebbe, 

 by Mr. C. A. Wiggins, a Fellow of the Society. The examples, 

 which were taken on July 11th of the present year, are shown 

 in the following list : —
