Exhibitions, §c. 
Mr. Bond exhibited an andromorphous female and a gynecomorphous male of 
Fidonia atomaria, thus showing each sex in the garb of the other: coupling this with 
the exhibition at the previous Meeting of the andromorphous female of Fidonia pini- 
aria (an/e, p. 109), it seemed not unlikely that this peculiar form of variation might be 
found to run through all the Fidoniz. 
Mr. Bond also exhibited two specimens of Gonepteryx Rhamni, one of which, a 
male, had a broad stripe along the costa of the left anterior wing of the pale colour 
peculiar to the female, whilst the other, a female, had large patches of the right 
anterior wing of the deep colour peculiar to the male: he regarded these as simple’ 
Varieties, and not as cases of gynandromorphism or of the union or blending together 
of the two sexes in the same individual. 
Mr. Bond also exhibited a variety of Ennychia anguinalis, having a broad patehy 
whitish marginal band on all the wings, external to the usual narrow white fascia.
