out a better case than the facts really warranted. He had, 

 however, done his best, in arranging the present series, to 

 choose not extreme, but average representatives of each form 

 of the various species exhibited. 



Mr. O. E. Janson exhibited a <$ and $ specimen of Orni- 

 thoptera ehimxra, Rothschild, and some remarkable species of 

 Delias collected recently by Mr. A. S. Meek in the mountain 

 region of British New Guinea. With regard to the former he 

 observed that it was the only known Papilio with a ringed 

 body, while the strongly pubescent body of the 9 was also an 

 exception to the general rule. 



Commander J. J. Walker, on behalf of Mr. A. M. Lea, 

 Government Entomologist of Tasmania, showed a specimen of 

 the Buprestid beetle Cyria imperialis, Don., having, in addition 

 to the normal fore-leg on the left side, two supplementary 

 fore-legs originating from separate cox*. One of them was 

 equally well-developed with the normal leg ; the other some-

 all the parts in these legs being present. 



Mr. G. C. Champion exhibited living $ and ? examples of 

 Tetropiicm crawshayi, Sharp, bred by the Rev. G. A. Crawshay 

 from eggs deposited in July last in the bark of larches at 

 Leighton Buzzard. 



Mr. E. R. Bankes showed (1) the specimen, unique 

 as British, of Bep'essaria emeritella, Stn., on which the 

 species was added to the British List by Stainton (Sup. Cat. 

 Tin. Pter. p. 4) in 1851 j (2) a specimen of Cerostoma 

 asperetta, L., captured by Mrs. Hutchinson near Leominster, 

 on September 21st, 1881, and only taken, as regards Britain, 

 in Dorset (not since 1831), and Herefordshire very rarely ; 

 and (3) various specimens labelled by Haworth himself, 

 showing the method of explaining his identification of the 

 species, noticed by him in his " Lepidoptera Britannica," 

 published 1803-1828. The exhibitor hoped that a more 

 general acquaintance with these labels would lead to the 

 rescue, from oblivion or destruction, of other of these valuable 

 Haworthian types and identifications. 



Mr. A. Bacot exhibited a series of Tryphsena comes repre- 

 senting three generations, bred by Messrs. J. E. Gardner,
