Exhibitions. 



Marsh form of Anthrocera trifolii. — The Hon. N. 

 Charles Rothschild exhibited some examples of an 

 Anthrocera (Zygaena) bred from cocoons found in a marsh 

 near Camberley. The interest attaching to the specimens 

 was the fact that, though found in a marshy situation, they 

 apparently resembled in all respects the dry, chalk-down 

 form of A. trifolii. 



Mr. H. J. Turner expressed the belief that the specimens 

 were ordinary A. trifolii and not var. palustris; other Fellows 

 concurred, and several instances were mentioned of ordinary 

 trifolii being found in damp localities. 



Dr. G. D. H. Carpenter on the life-history op Papilio 

 HESPERUS, Westw., and the resemblance of its larva 

 TO THAT OF P. NOBiLis, RoG. — Prof. PouLTON in bringing 

 forward the following account, written by Dr. Carpenter, 

 said that the egg had been laid by a female hesperus on Kome 

 Island, N.W. Victoria Nyanza. On May 31, 1914, Dr. 

 Carpenter had been collecting in the forest near his camp, 

 and it was probable that he had there actually watched the 

 egg being deposited. 



" Ovum. Deposited May 31, 1914. Hemispherical, yellow- 

 ish white, smooth. Hatched June 4.
