(2) a black suffused Chora glabraria, bred from a New Forest 

 larva in July, 1905. 



Mr. Ashdown exhibited specimens of the local Hemipteron 

 Eysarcoris melanocephalus, taken in Surrey, together with the 

 rare E. ceneus taken in the New Forest this year. Mr. Turner 

 said that he had met with the former species in several 

 localities. 



Mr. W. West (Greenwich) exhibited the following species 

 of Coleoptera : (1) Sibinia potentillce, obtained by sweeping 

 Spergula arvensis ; (2) Sibinia primita, by sweeping grass ; and 



(3) Rhinoncus bruchoides, by sweeping Polygonum. All were 

 collected on waste land near Darenth Wood in August, 1905. 



Mr. Joye exhibited a very remarkable form of variation on 

 the underside of a specimen of Cupido minima, in which the 

 submarginal row of dots on the hind-wing were elongated 

 into wide streaks, radiating more or less long towards the 

 base of the wing. 



Mr. West (Ashtead) exhibited a photograph of the 

 " Silent Pool," near Albury, where members attending the 

 Field Meeting of July 15th met for tea, and also another 

 photograph showing a cluster of Mania manra in the corner 

 of a room where for some years specimens of this species 

 have been accustomed to associate, sitting close together 

 with wings overlapping. Some dozens of specimens have 

 been obtained from this one spot. 



Mr. Main exhibited the curious wine-glass-shaped egg-case 

 of a spider, Agroeca proxima, which is somewhat frequently 

 noticed on the pine-trunks at Oxshott. 



Mr. Edwards exhibited a specimen of the fungus Coprinus 

 atramentarius from Blackheath. 



Mr. Robert Adkin exhibited two specimens of Emmelesia 

 unifasciata that had emerged in August of the present year 

 from pupae of 1900. He said it would no doubt be remem- 

 bered that some little time since he had exhibited specimens 

 of this species that had emerged in each of the years 1901, 

 1902, 1903, and 1904, from the same lot of pupae as the two 

 now exhibited, the emergences from the one batch of pupae 

 having thus extended over five successive years, and had 

 taken place during the first half of the month of August in 

 each year. 



Mr. F. Noad Clark read a paper, " Practical Hints on 

 Microscopical Manipulation" (see p. 19), and by way of 

 illustration exhibited a microscope fitted with all the ordi- 

 nary appliances.
