in the Orkneys by Mr. Syme, now in the Power Collection, 

 and Mr. Bold's record of a specimen from Long Benton, 

 Northumberland, which Fowler apparently considers doubtful. 



Hybrid Coliads. — Mr. Sheldon exhibited a box of Colias 

 hyale and C. erate from Sarepta, Eussia, with specimens which 

 appeared to be hybrids between these two species and also 

 between C. erate and C. edusa. 



Mr. Rowland-Brown enquired whether hybrids between 

 C. hyale and C. edusa, which so frequently fly together, had 

 ever been taken, but no Fellow present had ever seen one. 

 Mr. Sheldon said that in Lapland C. werdandi and C hecla 

 generally occur on different ground, but that where they 

 overlap specimens occur which appear to be hybrids. The 

 Rev. G. Wheeler said that in the Swiss collection of the late 

 Mr. Fison, there was a hybrid between C. phicomone and 

 C. palaeno. Lord Rothschild remarked that he had another, 

 and had also received two large batches of apparently hybrid 

 Coliads ; at the same time, C. cocandica ranges from greenish- 

 white to orange in a district where no other orange Coliad 

 occurs. 



An Aberrant Lycaenid. — Mr. L. N. Staniland exhibited 

 a specimen, probably of Polyommatus icarus, in which the 

 spots on the margins of the wings, on the underside, are 

 lacking. The specimen was taken in company with other 

 Common Blues, at Fleet, near Aldershot, on June 4, 1910. 



Several Fellows commented on this specimen, remarking on 

 its near resemblance to P. eros. 



Aberrations op Lepidoptera. — Mr. G. T. Bethune- 

 Baker exhibited an aberration of Melitaea didyma with the 

 underside of hind-wings nearly all primrose yellow with base 

 pinkish-red; also an aberration of Zygaena carniolica with 

 the fore-wings entirely suffused with red. 



Local Sussex Lepidoptera. — Mr. Wheeler exhibited on 

 behalf of Mr. F. G. Bramwell specimens of the local Zygaenid 

 hio glohulariae and the still more local geometrid Acidalia 

 immorata. 



A Gynandromorphous Ant.— Mr. Crawley exhibited a 

 lateral gynandromorph of Monomorium floricola, Jerd., taken 

 by the late Dr. Swale in Samoa in 1917.
