Exhibitions, 4'C. 



Mr. M'Lachlan mentioned that, out of twenty-one pupa? of Hypercallia Cliristier- 

 ninana, he had bred nineteen of the perfect insect, and exhibited a dozen of them. 

 The pupee soon lost the beautiful bright green colour {ante, p. xxiv.), became for 

 a time pale dirty yellow or colourless, and finally assumed a rosy hue as the wings 

 of the imago made progress towards their full development. 



Mr. H. J. S. Pryer exhibited a specimen of Halias quercana, from West Wickham, 

 with the wings unequally developed, one side being much shorter thiui the other. 



Mr. Bond cxhil>ited varieties of Selina irrorella aud Arctia villica: the former was 

 captured near Croydon ; its colour was pale, the ordinary rows of dots were very 

 indistinct, but there was a dark basal longitudinal mark, and a strong subapical dark 

 fascia : the latter was bred from one of a number of larvae found at Wormwood Scrubs, 

 all of which were similarly treated, and, whilst the rest produced moths of the ordinary 

 type, the sjiecimen exhibited was almost entirely of a deep rich fulvous colour, with a 

 few black n)arks on the costa of the fore winj;s, and but for its origin being known 

 could scarcely have been recognized as Arctia villica. 



Mr. R. Davis, of Waltham Cross, Herts (who was piesent as a visitor) exhibited a 

 large collection of larvae of Lepidoplera, admirably dried and preserved, and expressed 

 his desire to receive living larvae from Lepidopterists in other par(s of the country, 

 a portion of which, when preserved, ho would return to the sender.
