In bringing forward the paper Prof. Poulton exhibited 

 the whole of the Lycaenine butterflies belonging to Argiolaus 

 and allied genera bred by Mr. Farquharson from larvae 

 feeding on the flowers of Loranthus; also a number of bred 

 Lycaeninae and Lipteninae with their respective pupa-cases, 

 showing the wide difference between the two types of pupae. 

 He also exhibited examples of the Diptera described in the 

 Appendix by Mr. J. E. Collin and Mr. F. W. Edwards, and a 

 series of the Asilid fly Philodicus iemerarms, Walk., from 

 Agege, near Lagos, with its very varied prey.

" Experiments on the relative edibility of Insects with 

 special reference to their coloration," by G. D. Hale 

 Carpenter, D.M., B.Ch., F.E.S. 



Both these papers were illustrated by the epidiascope. 



In answer to several inquiries Dr. Carpenter explained that 

 the edibility of insects was always relative, and that positive 

 inedibility was almost non-existent.
