The President in the Chair. 



Mr. Carr exhibited the larvae of Epione advenaria from 

 ova laid by a female captured at Seal Chart. 



Mr. Stonell exhibited a putty-coloured larva of Odontopera 

 bidentata, of which he had had several. They originated 

 from South Yorkshire, and were feeding on privet. He also 

 reported that he had taken a fair number of Ccenobia rufa at 

 Worcester Park, Surrey. 



Mr. Main showed a photograph of a woodcock's nest 

 taken in the New Forest. He had himself seen the nest. 

 He also exhibited a photograph of a colony of the larvae of 

 Eugonia polychloros, also from the New Forest, where these 

 assemblages had been comparatively common this year. 

 He had already bred about sixty imagines from the " nest." 

 The larvae had been fed on sallow. At the same time he 

 exhibited a Deltoid moth which had emerged in some 

 numbers from hairy larvae which had been found feeding on 

 imported bulbs. They had been fed up upon crocus-bulbs. 

 A number of eggs of the species were also exhibited. 



Mr. Clark exhibited photographs of (1) the ova of Coleo- 

 phora gryphipennella, in situ on leaves of rose ; (2) much 

 magnified photograph of the micropyle of the same ; (3) the 

 ova of JEgeria ckrysidiformis. Mr. Sich remarked that the 

 ova of C. gryphipennella was undoubtedly an " upright " egg. 

 It was imbedded at the base in a liberal amount of gum, 

 probably the better to affix the egg, as the larvae did not 

 come out of the egg direct, but bored into the leaf substance 

 from the base of the egg, and for a period was a true miner, 

 only forming a case subsequently.
