1909. This addition extends the pei'iod of emergence of the second 

 generation to some twenty-three weeks. With regard to imagines 

 resulting from the October pupae mentioned in the note referred to, 

 I may state that a male emerged on January 3rd last, another ex- 

 ample of the same sex on March 4th, and finally a male on 27th of 

 that month. I might add that I am again rearing the species from 

 a fresh batch of Huntingdonshire ova. Larvae from these com- 

 menced to hatch out on May 18th. — Eichabd South. 



Gynandrous Saturnia pavonia (carpini). — On April 26th a 

 gynandrous *S. j^cbvonia emerged from a Denbighshire cocoon which 

 had lain over two winters. The right half of the moth (antenna, 

 thorax, and wings) male, the left half female. The rest of the insect 

 also appears to be a compromise between the sexes. Another 

 curiosity is a cocoon from last year's larvae which is entirely round, 

 and without vent for the emergence of the perfect insect. — J. Arkle ;

Entomological. Society op London. — Wednesday, Ajjril Qth, 

 1910.— Mr. H. Eowland-Brown, M.A., Vice-President, in the chair. — 

 Mr. Horace B. Browne, M.A., of 118, Sunny Bank, Hull; Mr. 

 William George Dawson, of 31, King's Gardens, West End Lane, 

 West Hampstead, N.W. ; Mr. Alfred Nander Hedges, of 42, Ken- 

 sington Park Gardens, W. ; the Eev. Hubert George Stanley, of 

 Marshfield Vicarage, Cardiff ; and Mr. Eupert Stenton, of Southwell, 

 Notts, were elected Fellows of the Society.— Mr. W. G. Sheldon 

 exhibited several series of the butterflies taken by him last July in 

 the Hohe Tatra region of the Carpathians, Eastern Hungary. They 

 included examples of Melitcea dictynnoides, Hormuzaki, with M. au- 

 relia and 31. dictynna for comparison ; Brenthis pales var. arsilache 

 from the forest zone at 3000 ft., and a form of B. pales from 5000 ft., 

 with the upper side approaching in colour and markings to var. arsi- 

 lache, but of smaller size, the under side being typical ; also Swiss 

 examples for comparison ; Parnassius apollo var. carpaticus, Aigner, 

 Erehia medusa var. hippomedusa, E. ligea, and CoenonympJia hero. — 

 The Eev. G. Wheeler expressed a decided opinion that M. dictyn- 

 noides constitutes a good species, and is not a form of M. anrelia.— 

 Mr. P. Harwood brought for exhibition an example of Strangalia 

 revestita, taken on a flower-head near Andover in 1909. — Mr. W. F. H. 

 Eosenberg exhibited (a) a "combination" consisting of a Nym- 

 phaline butterfly, Euphcedra ruspina, and three species of rnoths 

 belonging to as many different families, viz. Phcegorista similis 

 (Hypsidae), Xanthospilopteryx poggei (Agaristilae), and a Geometer, 

 Aletis helcita. These insects bear a close superficial resemblance to 

 each other in colour and pattern of markings, the wings being tawny 

 orange, with black marginal borders and white apical and marginal 

 spots ; {h) a pair of the Nymphaline butterfly, Harma theodota, a
