late Mr. E.C. Rye. The other specimens were taken in Lule&, North 
Sweden, and the Upper Engadine (5000—6000 ft.), in Switzerland. 
Mr. W. H. B. Fletcher exhibited specimens of Agrotis pyrophila from 
various localities, including two from Portland, three from Forres of a 
smaller and darker form taken by Mr. Salvage last year, and a melanic 
specimen from Stornoway at first supposed to belong to A. lucernea, but 
which, on closer examination was seen to be referable to this species. He 
also exhibited series of Triphana orbona from Stornoway and Forres, and 
T. subsequa from Forres and the New Forest. The specimens of T. sub- 
sequa from Forres were more distinctly and richly marked than those from 
the New Forest, and were also rather more variable in colour. 
Dr. Sharp exhibited specimens of Proculus goryi, Kaup, found by 
Mr. Champion in Guatemala, prepared to show the rudimentary wings 
under the soldered elytra. Dr. Sharp called attention to the existence of 
a peculiar articulated papilla at the base of one of the mandibles; and he 
also showed sections of the head of Neleus interruptus displaying this 
papilla, as well as the articulated teeth on the mandibles. 
The Rev. Canon Fowler exhibited specimens of Agapanthia lineato- 
collis, Don, and remarked that they were able to produce a distinct 
stridulation by the movement of the head against the prothorax, and of 
the hinder part of the prothorax against the mesothorax; they were also 
able to produce an unpleasant scent. He further remarked that Dr. 
Chapman had lately informed him that Hrirrhinus maculatus, F., had the 
power of stridulating strongly developed. He also exhibited a specimen 
of Barynotus, taken in Norfolk, which was apparently an abnormal example 
of B. obscurus. 
Mr. Edward Saunders exhibited, on behalf of Mr. G. A. J. Rothney, in 
illustration of his paper on Indian Ants, specimens of the following :— 
Camponotus compressus and fragments of Solenopsis geminatus destroyed by 
it; Camponotus sp.?, with a mimicking spider (Salticus sp.); Pseudo- 
myrma bicolor, with its mimicking Salticus, and a new species of Rhinopsis, 
viz. ruficornis, Cameron, also found with it, and closely resembling its 
host; Diacamma vagans; Holcomyrmeax indicus, with specimens of the 
grain which it stores and the chaff which it rejects; and Aphenogaster sp., 
with the pieces of Mimosa, &c., with which it covers its nest. 
Mr. G. A. J. Rothney communicated a paper entitled “Notes on 
Indian Ants.” 
Mr. Lionel de Nicéville communicated a paper entitled ‘ Notes 
regarding Delias sanaca, Moore, a Western Himalayan Butterfly.” 
Capt. H. J. Elwes communicated a note in support of the views expressed 
by Mr. de Nicéville in his paper.—H. Goss and W. W. Fowsmur, Joint 
Hon. Secs.
