and 3, Hypoclinea 4-punctata, Camponotus lateralis and C. 
aethiops. The last two species are of especial interest, as they 
belong to the xerothermic fauna, relics of a post-glacial period. 
They are southern species, and are only found in one or two 
sheltered spots as far north as Switzerland. 
Lantern Exhibition. 
The Rev. F. D. Morice, having asked Mr. DurRaANT to take 
the Chair in his place, made the following exhibits by means 
of the Epidiascope :— 
1. Lantern-slides showing the pectinated antennae of the ¢ 
in the Sawflies Lophyrus pint, L., and Monoctenus juniperi, 
L., the latter new to Britain and not yet recorded. It was 
taken pretty freely on juniper at Nethy Bridge in June 1907, 
by Messrs. H. Scott and C. G. Lamb. 
2. Lantern-slides showing paradoxical (secondary sexual) 
characters in the legs of numerous ¢ Aculeates (Bees, Wasps, 
and Fossors). 
3. Microphotos (on printing-out paper) of the apex of the 
9 “terebra’’ in Cimbex lutea, L., and Cimbex femorata, 
L. (magnified 90 diameters). . 
4. Entomological Congress groups at Oxford and Tring. 
(Lantern-slides.) 
During the course of this exhibit, Dr. Cuapman, at Mr. 
Morice’s request, explained the manner in which he had seen 
the wings of the 9 Odynerus spinipes imprisoned between the 
tridentate middle femora and excavated middle tibiae of the ¢. 
Whilst the instrument was in use a most interesting demon- 
stration of its powers was given by Mr. F. Bethell, a box of 
butterflies, several of the insects exhibited during the meeting, 
a photograph of one of the early Presidents, Mr. G. R. Water- 
house (which his son, Mr. C. O. Waterhouse, had brought for 
the Collection of portraits), illustrations of Lepidoptera and 
their larvae from Hiibner, Freyer, etc., being thrown on the 
screen in turn, the colours coming out with great accuracy, 
and details of structure being readily appreciable. 
Paper. 
A paper by Mr. H. Exrrineuam, M.A., F.L.S., “ On the 
Scent-apparatus of Amauris miavius, L.,” was read by the
