cage, and between that date and October 30th six males and ten 

 feuiJiles came forth, thus clearly showing a partial third emergence. 

 Perhaps the most interesting point in regard to them was that 

 "whereas some of the females followed the spring, or first 

 emergence in having the wings with comparatively narrow black 

 borders, others resembled the summer, or second, emergence in 

 regard to the broad black bordering of the wings. The series 

 exhibited for comparison included specimens reared in July and 

 August, 1912, and April and May; 1913, from larvffi collected in 

 June, 1912, and in April and May, 1913, from larv» collected in 

 September, 1912. 



Mr, Adkin also exhibited long series of Agriades cor'ulun from 

 various localities, including the South Downs near Eastbourne ; 

 the North Downs near Folkestone, Dover, Otford, and Reigate ; the 

 Isle of Wight ; Hertfordshire and Wiltshire. Speaking generally, 

 variation appeared to be more strongly developed in the series from 

 the North than those from the South Downs, while the semi- 

 xyiu/raiiha forms of the female from Hertfordshire showed an 

 advance upon either, and in the synijrajiha form from Wiltshire the 

 extreme was reached. Among the undersides a rayed male from 

 the Isle of Weight was very conspicuous, while at the other extreme 

 were several, both male and female, ahuost spotless examples, 

 chiefly from Kentish localities on the North Downs, while in the 

 Sussex series the undersides of the females showed a great diver- 

 gence in the ground-colour. 



Mr. R. T. Baumann exhibited series of Boarmia repandata from 

 Epping Forest, Durham, Forfar, and Devonshire, those from 

 Durham including var. sodorensitiin, and those from Devonshire var. 

 co)iveimria. He also exhibited specimens of the dark form of 

 Acidalia vinjularia, which he was giving the Society to place in the 

 reference collection. 



Mr. P. M. Bright exhibited a cabinet drawer containing long 

 and very varied series of Agriades thetis (adonis), males, upper- and 

 undersides ; another drawer containing long and very varied .series 

 of A. thetis, females, upper- and undersides; a small box containing 

 two striking aberrations of (JoUas edusa with upper-wings richly 

 shot with purple, taken near Canterbury this year ; a white 

 aberration of ^*y/(/««?.s paphia, taken at Holmsley this year; and 

 several aberrations of the undersides of Pulyoimuatus icariis, taken 

 at Wye this year. 



Mr. Grosvenor exhibited his fine collection of the various 

 British races of Canonyiniilia tiphon.
