SOCIETIES. 



Entomological Society of London. — October IQth, 1901. — Mr. E. 

 Saunders, Vice-President, in the chair. — M. J. H. Fabre, of Serignan, 

 Vaucluse, France, was elected an Honorary Fellow of the Society. — 

 Mr. W. Schaus, F.Z.S., of Trentham House, Twickenham, was elected 

 a Fellow of the Society. — Mr. C. Morley exhibited, for the Piev. E. 

 N. Bloomfield, leaves of hornbeam from Battle, and a photograph of 

 leaves of sweet chestnut from Haslemere, rolled by Attelabus curculio- 

 noides. The former were not rolled by reason of a scarcity of their 

 usual oak, which abounds in the locality. — Mr. R. Adkin exhibited a 

 specimen of Pieris daplidice taken by him at Eastbourne on August 19th 

 last. He said that the insect was flying strongly, and in that respect 

 and indeed in general appearance resembled on the wing a pale female 

 of Colias hi/ale. Mr. Eowland-Brown asked if there were any records 

 of recent date of the discovery of the larva in this country, and with 

 Mr. A. H. Jones corroborated the swift habit of flight in the species. 

 In the discussion upon immigrant species that followed, Mr. R. 

 McLachlan said that the recent observations of Papilio machaon in 

 various parts of the country seemed to suggest immigration on the 

 part of a species not usually regarded as migratory. He also said that 

 he knew of no reliable evidence of the larva of Pieris daplidice having 

 occurred on this side of the Channel. — Mr. C, P. Pickett exhibited a 

 series of Melitaa cinxia bred in June last from larvae taken in the Isle 

 of Wight, including light and dark varieties of the females, one male 

 with extra light upper wings, and one male with the lower wings 

 almost black. He also exhibited a series of Chcerocampa elpenor, bred 

 in June last from larvte taken at Broxbourne in July, 1900, including 

 a variety of the male with purplish lower wings, and another with 

 purple markings on the upper wings. — The Rev. F. D. Morice ex- 

 hibited specimens of Hedychnim riitilans, Dhl., and Salius propinguus, 

 Lep., taken at Lyndhurst by Miss Ethel Chawner, and both new to 

 the British list. He also exhibited two monstrosities, viz. — Allantus 

 arcuatiis, male (sawfly), having on the left side two perfect and two 

 other rudimentary wings, and Gorytes quinquecinctus (fossor), with the 

 abdominal segments extraordinarily twisted out of their proper shape 

 and places. — Mr. E. Saunders said that these specimens appeared to 

 him identical with Continental propinquus, which was not rare in the 

 south of Europe, where it was sometimes black, and sometimes red 

 towards the middle of the abdomen, but that he thought it could not 

 be a variety of any British species, as we have no species with a rugose 

 propodeum which could agree with it. — Mr. Arthur M. Lea communi-
