148 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



hibited various forms of Agriades {Pohjommatus) corydon from 

 Southern Europe, including A. var. arragonensis, and its form cceru- 

 lesceyis from Albarracin, Spain ; also a pair of Brenthis selene from 

 La Granja, and a pair of B. hecate fi-om Hungary, showing the 

 remarkable approximation of the two species in the markings of the 

 wings. — Mr. H. St. J. Donisthorpe brought for exhibition a case con- 

 taining a small nest of about thirty to forty hermaphrodite living 

 examples of Formica rufibarhis var. fusco-7-ufibarbis from Whitsand 

 Bay, August, 1909, into which had been introduced a queen of Formica 

 riifa from Nethy Bridge (May, 1909). The queen had been accepted 

 by the other ants in a few days. — Mr. C. 0. Waterhouse, on behalf 

 of Mr. J. C. Moulton, of the Sarawak Museum, exhibited a Longi- 

 corn beetle of the genus Clilorydolum, in which 'the right antenna 

 was much shorter than the left. The specimen appeared to be a 

 male in every respect except in the length of the right antenna, the 

 joints of which were a trifle shorter than those of a female. Mr. 

 Moulton was inclined to think that the specimen might be gynandro- 

 morphous. Mr. Waterhouse suggested that it might rather be 

 regarded as a malformation. — Mr. W. E. Sharp exhibited an example 

 of Calatlms mollis, having the right anterior tibiaj and tarsus in 

 triplicate. He said that such reduplication was not uncommon, but 

 that it was seldom so perfect in detail. — Mr. L. W. Newaiian showed 

 a case containing the following forms of Anthrocera hijypocreindis, all 

 taken in June, 1908, in one small field in the neighbourhood of 

 Bristol: [a) &nQ\ogovi's> to A. filipendulcB vnv. chrysantlieJiii, (b and c) 

 analogous to A. filipemhdce a,h. Jiava, Eobson, and a pink form, with 

 {d) an example with yellowish spots, otherwise normal. Also a 

 specimen of A. lonicercB captured at the same place, with the 

 markings broadly confluent. — Mr. G. Bethune-Baker brought for 

 exhibition three nests of a species of Lasiocampid from Mount 

 Elgon, Albert Nyanza, belonging to the same group as Thaumetopcca 

 inocessionea. He had been consulted relative to the possibilities of 

 using the silk of which the long pouch-like " nests " M'ere con- 

 structed. Mr. G. A. K. Marshall said that they belonged to a species 

 of Anaphe. — -Professor E. B. Poulton, F.E.S., read a " Preliminary 

 Note on Mr. A. D. Millar's experimental breeding of forms of the 

 Nymphaline genus Euralia in Natal," by Mr. Poland Trimea, M.A., 

 F.E.S., and exhibited examples of the species and forms referred to. 

 He said that Mr. Millar was greatly to be congratulated on his 

 success in obtaining the long-wished-for proof that Euralia icalil- 

 bergi and E. mimcB were forms of the same species. Professor 

 Poulton also exhibited a set of six Euralia anthedon, Doubl., and 

 four E. clubia from Lagos, the western representatives of E. ivahl- 

 bergi and E. mimes respectively, giving it as his opinion that after 

 the proof obtained by Mr. Millar, the western butterflies were also the 

 dimorphic forms of a single species. The following papers were 

 read : — " Third Paper on the Tetriginaj (Orthoptera) in the Oxford 

 University Museum," by J. L. Hancock, M.D. " Descriptions of New 

 Algerian Plymenoptera-Aculeata {SpliegidcE),'' by the late Edward 

 Saunders, F.E.S., and the Eev. E. D. Morice, M.A. " On Ztzcria,
