those on the right, and having additional blue scales with 

 male hair scales and androconia on the small side. 



(2) Gynandromorphous hybrid harrisoni [Ithysia zonaria ^ 

 X Lycia hirtaria ?), bred in April 1912, by Mr. Worsley- 

 Wood. The specimen resembled a female of this hybrid, 

 but the left antenna was pectinated as in the male, the right 

 was simple. He observed that Harrison stated that he had 

 only bred one gynandromorphous specimen amongst several 

 thousand primary hybrid Bistoninae, but that all the secondary 

 hybrids were gynandromorphous. Standfuss also only bred 

 two gynandromorphs amongst 4000 primary hybrid Saturnias, 

 but many secondary hybrids were gynandromorphous. 



Sicilian Species of Euchloe. — Mr. J. Platt Barrett 

 exhibited a series of E. damone from Mt. Etna, and com- 

 mented on their lack of variation. Also a series of E. carda- 

 mines var. turritis, remarking on their small size, the c? c? 

 expanding l^lj in. and the ? ? from l\ in. 



Mr. Bethune-Baker said that the small size of Sicilian 

 var. turritis must be a local condition, as he had often taken 

 this form quite as large as ordinary cardamines. 



Noteworthy British Rhopalocera. — Comm. Walker, 

 on behalf of Mr. Adams, exhibited : — 



(a) A magnificent series of aberrations of Polygonia c-album, 

 including several strongly suffused examples, from the Forest 

 of Dean. 



(b) Two specimens of Araschnia levana, gen. aest. prorsa, 

 from the same locality, taken in 1914. 



(c) A gynandromorphous Urbicola comma, right side ?, 

 left side o, from Box Hill. 



(d) A very fine melanic aberration of Dnjas paphia ?, from 

 S. Wales, taken by Mr. Rodney Wood. 



DiPTERA from the FALKLAND ISLANDS. — Mr. F. W. 



Edwards exhibited two species of apterous Diptera, one 

 belonging to the Borboridae, the other to the Ephydridae, both 

 collected in the Falkland Islands by Dr. Malcolm Cameron, 

 Fleet Surgeon of H.M.S. Cornwall, on Dec. 7, the day before 

 the naval battle. Both appeared to be new to science, and 

 probably represented new genera. A number of other wing- 

 less or semi-wingless flies belonging to different families had
