ground colour is more ochreous in some specimens than in 

 others. There is also variation in colour and marking of the 

 hind-wings. The red-banded form is not represented, and I 

 have never seen that form in any Surrey locality. On the 

 whole the specimens pretty much favour the female parent, 

 and it maybe assumed that the small variation shown is due 

 to the male element. 



Mr. Goulton exhibited some excellent photographs of the 

 larvae of Lepidoptera. 



Mr. Smallman exhibited a specimen of Ccenonympha pam- 

 philus, L., of a yellowish-white colour above and on the 

 under side of the fore-wings. It was taken on Wimbledon 

 Common August 15th, 1905. 



Mr. Kaye exhibited for Mr. Percy Richards (1) two series 

 of Acidalia dihitaria, one comprising normal specimens and 

 the other specimens much darker and more yellow ; (2) 

 Macaria litiirata, with its dark form var. nigrofulvata ; and (3) 

 pupae of A narta myrtilli. 



Mr. West exhibited on behalf of a friend who had recently 

 returned from West Africa a large collection of Lepidoptera, 

 mainly butterflies. 



Mr. Main exhibited a photograph of a larva of Phorodesma 

 smaragdaria taken a few days before in the Essex marshes. 



Mr. Turner exhibited a lizard (Lacerta vivipara) caught by 

 a cat. The cat was in the habit of frequently bringing one 

 in from a railway bank, but nearly always the tail was found 

 to have been broken off. This specimen possessed a stumpy 

 tail, evidently the new growth to replace the first tail, which 

 had been broken off in a previous encounter with the cat. 



Mr. Penn Gaskell exhibited several clusters of the eggs of 

 the gipsy moth (Liparis dispar) from San Sebastian, where 

 they were very conspicuously abundant in the trees lining 

 the roads, especially on the tamarisks. He also said that in 

 the South of France he had noticed the hibernacula of the 

 young larvae of Porthesia chrysorrhcea in considerable numbers 

 over a large area. 



Mr. Sich exhibited the larvae and cases of Coleophora lari- 

 pennella feeding on Chenopodium. He pointed out the fact 

 that the cases were covered with grains of sand and fluff. 



Mr. South exhibited the case and larva of Coleophora 

 limosipennella, the form of the species which feeds on birch. 

 It was met with at Oxshott. 



Dr. Chapman exhibited some brilliantly white and glisten- 

 ing cocoons, which he first supposed to be those of a Ceci- 

 domyid. They are, however, those of a Coccid, Eriopeltis
