first seven specimens in row four, normal. The eighth speci- 

 men, a male, with very slightly pectinated antennae, and the 

 next six specimens gynandromorphous. The last two the 

 parents of the brood. 



Note. — There were seven gynandromorphous specimens in 

 all, one not being shown. 



Rows five and six the ordinary type form, and rows seven 

 and eight the var. double day a via, from various localities. 



(2) Aplccta nebulosa, a series from Delamere Forest, show- 

 ing range from the prevailing grey form to the almost black 

 form, with dark fringes, var. robsoni; and the form with 

 white fringes and margins, the so-called var. thompsoni. 

 Shorter series of the same species from Epping Forest, 

 Cornwall, and New Forest, with single specimens from 

 Argyllshire, N. Wales, and Sussex. 



The Epping insects are very similar to the grey form so 

 common in Delamere, those from the other localities being 

 decidedly lighter. 



(3) Triphcena comes from various localities in England, 

 Wales, and Scotland, including Isle of Lewis and Orkney 

 Islands. 



The Scottish insects show considerably more variation 

 than the English, ranging from a light grey to red and 

 almost black, and include many forms which may be 

 grouped around var. curtisii. 



(4) Satyrus scnielc, from Cornwall, Isle of Man, Sussex, and 

 Kent. The Sussex and Kent specimens taken on the Chalk 

 Hills, where the ground is light-coloured, are much lighter 

 on the under-surface than the Cornish and Manx insects 

 taken on much darker ground. 



(5) A drawer of T. fimbria of all shades of ground colour 

 from various localities. 



(6) Three drawers ofPieris ncipi, showing English and Irish 

 forms of Spring and Summer broods, with a series of var. 

 bryonies bred from Swiss parents, the winter being passed in 

 the pupal stage. 



(7) A drawer of Dry as papliia and var. valesina. 



(8) A drawer of Colias edusa and var. liclice, bred from south 

 France, ? var. liclice. 



(9) A drawer containing numerous fine aberrations and 

 forms of Lepidoptera. 



Mr. J. Hickman exhibited two broods of Arctia caja, from 

 Wye, Kent, in which considerable aberrational intensification 

 of the dark markings was shown. 



Mr. W. J. Kaye exhibited a very large number of speci-
