Exhibitions, lic. 



Mr. Butler e.xhibited a large number of Diurnal Lepidoptcra, in illustra-

Mr. Bond exhibited both sexes of Psyche reticella, taken near Gravesend 

 in 1870, by Mr. D. J. Button, the female being now for the first time 

 known : in colour it is quite different from the female of any other British

Mr. Bond also exhibited Acidalia strigaria, Huhn., from Gravesend, 

 and PempeHa obductella, F.-v.-B., from Norfolk ; these were also taken by 

 Mr. Button during the present season, and were both new species to the 

 British list.
