on the upperside. The right fore-leg is female and the left 
is male, but with less hair than normally. 
Specimen taken in May at Ootacamund. 
This race is said by Fruhstorfer in Seitz, “ Macrolep.”’ ix, 
p- 515, to have the female like the male, but in the Hill 
Museum there is a series of both forms of female. 
A SERIES OF AGLAIS uRTICAE.—Mr. Ropert ADKIN ex- 
hibited long series of Aglais urticae including many specimens 
from Scotland. Referring to Mr. Sheldon’s exhibit at the last 
meeting, he pointed out three specimens were obtained from 
the same neighbourhood as his, and he agreed with him that 
that locality appeared to produce a form of rich ground- 
colour with brilliant blue marginal lunules. He thought, 
however, that the Scotch forms generally tended towards 
these characteristics, but that they were perhaps more marked 
in specimens from that immediate neighbourhood than in 
those from other parts of the country. 
This exhibit gave rise to some discussion, in which Com- 
mander Waker, Mr. Batrour Browne, Mr. SHELDON and 
others took part, on the comparative rarity of A. urticae in 
1921 and on the relative abundance and apparent spread in 
the South of England of Vanessa c-album. 
HeELiconius From Trintpap.—Mr. W. J. Kaye exhibited 
Heliconius melpomene euryades and H. erato hydara, both 
from Trinidad, together with drawings of larvae and pupae 
of each. Both larvae and pupae differed widely from each 
other. H. melpomene was characterised by a small head and 
tapering first three segments. On all segments as well as 
the head there were subdorsal long spines with two or three 
short branches. H. erato, on the contrary, had a large head 
with fleshy protuberance and with non-tapering anterior 
segments. On the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 10th, and 11th segments 
were subdorsal fleshy protuberances densely clothed with 
short spines. The pupa of H. melpomene was rather short 
with strongly projecting wing-cases, and thoroughly Nym- 
phaline in appearance, with 6 abdominal silver spots. The 
pupa of H. erato was quite remarkably different, being very 
elongated and with two long fleshy protuberances to the head, 
and without any silver spotting.
