  the 
  membrane 
  of 
  the 
  wing. 
  They 
  are 
  arranged 
  something 
  

   like 
  sticks 
  heaped 
  loosely 
  together 
  in 
  a 
  roughly 
  built 
  bird's 
  

   nest, 
  their 
  apices, 
  however, 
  all 
  seem 
  to 
  point 
  inwards, 
  i. 
  e. 
  

   towards 
  the 
  centre 
  of 
  the 
  patch. 
  

  

  The 
  exhibitor 
  showed 
  photographs 
  of 
  this 
  structure 
  at 
  

   various 
  magnifications 
  (from 
  x 
  10 
  to 
  — 
  approximately 
  — 
  

   X 
  350), 
  as 
  it 
  appears 
  in 
  a 
  wing 
  of 
  T. 
  torridum, 
  Smith, 
  captured 
  

   by 
  Dr. 
  Neave 
  in 
  South 
  Africa, 
  which 
  Mr. 
  A. 
  Cant 
  of 
  the 
  

   Natural 
  History 
  Museum 
  has 
  mounted 
  (entire) 
  in 
  balsam, 
  by 
  

   permission 
  of 
  the 
  keeper 
  of 
  the 
  Entomological 
  Collections 
  of 
  

   the 
  Museum, 
  Dr. 
  C. 
  J. 
  Gahan. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Bethune-Baker 
  in 
  commenting 
  on 
  this 
  exhibit, 
  

   expressed 
  his 
  opinion 
  that 
  the 
  scales 
  were 
  androconial, 
  and 
  

   remarked 
  that 
  in 
  many 
  Lepidoptera 
  the 
  androconia 
  were 
  very 
  

   firmly 
  fixed, 
  and 
  that 
  when 
  they 
  came 
  off 
  they 
  frequently 
  

   left 
  the 
  basal 
  disc 
  within 
  the 
  socket. 
  

  

  Dr. 
  DiXEY 
  also 
  expressed 
  his 
  strong 
  opinion 
  that 
  these 
  

   scales 
  were 
  true 
  androconia.

  In

  of 
  the 
  railway 
  strike 
  the 
  attendance 
  was 
  

   very 
  small; 
  there 
  were 
  no 
  exhibits, 
  and 
  it 
  was 
  decided 
  to 
  

   postpone 
  the 
  reading 
  of 
  the 
  paper, 
  illustrated 
  by 
  the 
  Epidia- 
  

   scope, 
  which 
  was 
  to 
  have
