"Entomologist" for July 20th, 1899. This was the first 

 specimen procured, and led to the capture of a number of 

 others in the same locality. It was also the finest specimen 

 obtained, so far as he was aware, having almost a total 

 absence of spots on the white border of the hind wings. 



(2) A fine example of the yellow form of Callimorpha 

 dominula, bred from larvae obtained at Ringwood, June, 

 1900. 



Mr. Turner exhibited a number of species of butterflies 

 taken in late July at Larche and Lanteret in the French 

 Alps, including Colias palceno, C . phicomone, Parnassius apollo, 

 Cupido minima, Polyommatus damon, P. corydon, P. escheri, 

 P. eros, P. orbitulus, Rusticus argus, Thecla spini, Issoria lathonia, 

 Brenthis pales, Melitcea cynthia, M. didyma, M. dictynna, 

 Argynnis niobe, A. aglaia, Epinephele lycaon, Erebia lappona, 

 E. goante, E. tyndarus, etc. They had been sent to him by 

 Dr. Chapman. 



Mr. Edwards exhibited the pupa cases of Clonus scrophu- 

 larice, mounted in situ on the food-plant of the larva Scro- 

 phularia nudosa, to show the remarkable resemblance which 

 these cases bear to the seed-vessels. He also showed 

 examples of Papilio patros, from Ega, on the Amazon, which 

 is probably not a distinct species, but only a form of P. tov- 

 quatus, which is found over the same area; and of P.photinus, 

 from Mexico, a species between P. montezuma from Mexico 

 and P. dares from Nicaragua. 



Mr. Lucas exhibited living specimens of the stag-beetle, 

 Lucanus cervus, which had been dug up on January 6th at 

 Kingston. He stated that the larva forms apuparium in the 

 autumn, and probably soon passes through the pupal stage 

 to an imago. The imago, however, does not come out of 

 the puparium until the late spring. In the present instance 

 the puparia were ruptured in the digging. 



Mr. Tonge, on behalf of Mr. Vine, exhibited a remarkably 

 pale yellow form of Epinephele janira, with the spots of the 

 fore-wings unusually large and very clearly bipupillate. He 

 also showed capital photographs of the life-history of 

 Euchlo'e cardamines, ova in situ, pupa ditto, and imagines. 



Mr. Main exhibited examples of the small cockroach 

 Phyllodromia germanica, from Silvertown, where it was now 

 very abundant.
