Eneuish Hytorcus Pinastri.—Mr. A. G. Scorer exhibited 
a specimen of Hyloicus (Sphinx) pinastri, of whose British 
origin he had no doubt. It was caught near Aldeburgh, and 
sent to him by John Bates, who had been in his employment 
as page-boy. Another specimen was taken at the same time, 
but this he had not seen. 
GYNANDROMORPHIC SpEcIMEN.—Mr. Scorer also exhibited a 
gynandromorphic specimen of Gonepteryx rhamni, taken by 
himself at Salisbury, on September 2, 1894. It was evenly 
divided, the right side being @ and the left ¢. 
Errictent Rentaxinc Boxrs.—Dr. K. Jorpan exhibited 
some insects from India in one of Mr. Newman’s relaxing 
boxes, which had remained throughout their journey as fresh 
as if just captured, and were in perfect condition for setting. 
He remarked also that they were entirely free from mould or 
stain. These particular butterflies had been papered, but 
Dr. JorpDAN explained that it was better merely to place them 
between layers of cotton wool, as paper was apt to contain 
acids or other deleterious matter. 
Inrerestinc Leprpoprera.—Dr. Jorpan also exhibited the 
Saturniid moth, Dysdaemonia kadeni, in its resting attitude. 
The hindwings are for the greater part concealed under the 
forewings, only the anal area and the tail projecting. The 
abdomen being bent towards the left side, the insect in this 
attitude resembles a crumpled dry leaf, and recalls the much 
smaller Bombycid—also exhibited— Sorocabu anomala, which, 
as is well known, assumes a similar attitude when at rest. 
He further exhibited a species of Cosmosoma, Family Syntom- 
idae, partly covered with a white wool. According to the 
collector (A. H. Fassl), ‘‘the insect when touched ejects from 
a fold on the underside of the abdomen a white wool, which 
completely envelops the specimen.” The hitherto unknown 
female of Ogyris meeki, Roths., a Lycaenid from New Guinea, 
was likewise shown, together with the male and several 
Hypochrysops. 
A WELL-ARRANGED CoLLection.—Mr. Hawxsuaw exhibited 
several drawers of Lepidoptera, beautifully arranged and set ; 
placed on squared paper, and with the written history of 
every insect accompanying it. Mr. Hawksuaw explained that
