Scopclosoma satellitia, a dark form, taken at Navestock. 



Symantria (Psilura) monacha, six dark, bred at Navestock, 

 from dark New Forest parents, 1903. 



Triphccna fimbria, Navestock; and 



T. orbona, four dark, Navestock. 



Mr. Hy. J. Turner exhibited life histories of a large number 

 of British species of the genus Colcophora, showing imagines, 

 cases of the larvae at different stages of growth, and leaves of 

 the food plants, mounted to show the characters of the 

 depredations. 



The Society exhibited several drawers of specimens from 

 their collection of Canadian Lepidoptera. 



Mr. J. W. Tutt exhibited four drawers from his collection 

 of Continental butterflies; one of these contained a long series 

 of Euchloc euphcnoides, taken by himself and Dr. Chapman in 

 various parts of the French Riviera and Languedoc — Hyeres, 

 Auribeau, Draguignan, Nimes, etc. — some of the ? s being 

 exceedingly variable in the amount of orange at the tip of 

 the wing, whilst the o*s were exceedingly variable in size. 

 In the same drawer, for comparison, were Moroccan speci- 

 mens of E. eupheno. A number of Leptosia sinapis, also 

 captured on the Riviera, and all of .the spring type, were 

 interesting. A second drawer contained a series of some 120 

 specimens of Pararge egeria, including almost every possible 

 gradation between the bright-tinted southern examples, of 

 a brighter hue than ordinary P. megczra, to the ordinary dark 

 examples typical of the species in England. These came 

 from almost all the best-worked Mediterranean stations, 

 besides others in South France, North Italy, Switzerland, etc. 

 A long series of P. megcera, from South European localities, 

 was also shown, of which the examples from Corsica, bred 

 by Mr. Powell, were, perhaps, the most interesting. 



A third drawer contained a long series of brilliantly-tinted 

 southern Polyommatus bellargus and P. corydon, the latter 

 (only a part of Mr. Tutt's long series of the species) included 

 the sky-blue Spanish form of corydon, and the white form, as 

 well as a large number of more or less characteristic forms 

 from the mountains of South France and Italy. 



A fourth drawer contained a series of the mountain forms 

 of Chrysophanns virgaurcce, a long series of C. alciphron, in its 

 various forms, of which the Spanish forms of var. gordius and 

 the examples from Bobbie, with dark hind wings, were among 

 the most interesting; whilst the rows of C. hippothoe contained 

 some beautiful examples from Scandinavia, the ? s showing 

 in this species great variation.
