No previous writer appears to have observed that this 
attitude is more rarely adopted than the usual “ praying ” 
attitude. 
Improved Photographic Process for Lepidoptera, etc.— 
Mr. E. Dukinfield Jones brought for exhibition lantern 
slides of Lepidoptera in natural colours, photographed by the 
Dufay Dioptichrome process. The advantages over the Auto¬ 
chrome plates are the greater transparency and the facility of 
working ; they are in fact very little more trouble than an 
ordinary negative. The ti’ansparency is by no means perfect, 
and the reds do not come out as well as one could wish ; but 
on the whole the results are remarkably good. 
Four slides were shown :— 
(1) Containing Gonepteryx clorinde, Moipho ega, Catopsilia 
philea, C. argante, Pajnlio ancanius, Morpho acJiilles. 
(2) Some species collected at Castro Parana, South 
America. 
(3) Caligo arispe, wwdiev-Bide •, J natural size. 
(4) Catocala ni'pta, slightly reduced.
