SOCIETIES. 



Entomological Society of London. — Wednesday, February 6th, 

 1907. — Mr. C. 0. Waterhouse President, in the chair. The President 

 announced that he had nominated Mr. Frederick Merrifield, Mr.' 

 Edward Saunders, F.R.S., F.L.S., and Mr. George Henry Verrall, to 

 be Vice-Presidents for the session 1907-8. Mr. Charles Kimberlin 

 Brain, of 23, Burnside Road, Tamboers Kloof, Cape Colony ; Mrs. 

 Catharine Maria Moore, of Holmefield, Oakholme Road, Sheffield ; 

 and Mr. Alfred Ernest Tonge, of Aincroft, Reigate, were elected 

 Fellows of this Society. — Mr. E. A. Cockayne brought for exhibition, 

 a collection of Lepidoptera made by him at Tongue, North Suther- 

 landshire, between June 30th and July 13th, 1906, comprising many 

 species not hitherto reported from the county. It was noticeable that 

 the several species showed little tendency to melanism. — Dr. T. A. 

 Chapman, exhibited bred specimens of Hastula hyerana, Mill., from 

 the neighbourhood of Hyeres, to illustrate how the species varied. 

 One or two, especially the two darkest December males, strongly 

 suggested that the darkening of the colour of the wings was due 

 to injury by cold, not to a more perfect, because prolonged, matura- 

 tion. — Miss M. E. Fountaine, a number of Anthocarid and Melitseid 

 butterflies from various localities in Europe, Asia Minor, and Algeria, 

 showing a wide range of variation. — The President, a female example 

 of the genus Dorylus, from Mengo, in Uganda. There were with it in 

 the same tube one small and two large Workers, which he thought 

 would probably be the the means of identifying the species at some 

 future time. The Workers closely resembled specimens in the Museum 

 named D. arcens, which are said to be the same as nigricans. — The Rev. 

 F. E. Lowe showed various aberrant forms of Swiss butterflies, includ- 

 ing Melanargia galatea ab. j'ulvata, Lowe, from Martigny ; an example 

 of Lycana arion, from Pontresina, with the black markings on the under 

 side of the wings almost entirely absent, save one very large kidney- 

 shaped spot, slightly tinged with white at the centre of each wing ; 

 and a pair of Pieris napi var. bryonies taken in cop. at Caux ; the male
