Exhibitions, &c. 
The Rey. J. Hellins sent for exhibition various British Lepidoptera 
recently submitted to M. Guenée for his opinion and determination. The 
collection included a dark variety of Acronycta myrice from Mr. Birchall ; 
certain Acidaliz, sent by Mr. Hellins and Mr. G. F'. Mathew, apparently 
to be referred to A. mancuniata; several extraordinary aberrations referred 
to Melanippe rivata, Oporabia, sp.?, Coremia ferrugata, &c., from Mr. Dale 
and Mr. Mathew; an example of Polia Chi, var. olivacea, from Major Hut- 
chinson ; several Eupitheciew, from Dr. Buchanan White, including the var. 
oxydata of E. subfulvata; and an insect which Dr. White proposed to name’ 
septentrionata, not known to M. Guenée. The most important of all was a 
Noctua bearing some resemblance to Xanthia circellaris (ferruginea), not 
known to M. Guenée, taken at Queenstown, flying over bramble-blossoms, 
in July or August, 1872, by Mr. Mathew. Concerning this insect it was 
remarked that it had been shown to Dr. Staudinger (now in London) by 
M. Guenée, and it was also unknown to him as European.
