distinctly pale yellow, and another had the submarginal area 

 more or less rayed by the extension and union of the black 

 markings. He also exhibited Hyhemia marginaria, from 

 W.Wickham — (i) an unusually pale form ; (2) a dark, suffused 

 form ; and (3) an extreme form uniformly very dark. 



Mr. Sich exhibited the living larva of Pieris daplidice from 

 Geneva. It was feeding on mignonette. 



Dr. Chapman exhibited a short series of specimens of 

 Lampides telicanus, bred from eggs and larvas on Adenocarpus 

 intermedins (var. ceborinensis) found in Galicia (N.-W. Spain) 

 in July, 1906. Some of the specimens show very distinctly 

 that the peculiar markings of the under-side are the outer 

 white rings of the usual ocellated spots, more or less con- 

 fluent. In the ? some of these same spots appear as black 

 marks on the upper side (as in avion, etc). One of the ? s 

 is clearly an u.s. aberration that in an ordinary Lyccena would 

 have shown radiation ; here it is a peculiar arrangement of 

 the pale lines, to illustrate how the ocellated spots of Lyccena 

 may occur on the upper-side, even when the under-side is so 

 far modified as in L. telicanus, and that L. telicanus presents 

 these spots on the under-side (modified) ; more modified in 

 L.bcetica, but by comparing with telicanus still recognisable. 

 In bectica they show also the first (or last ?) stages of the 

 white line of Thecla. He also showed Chrysophanus phlceas ; 

 Lampides telicanus, £ upper-side ; Polyommatus bellargus, S 

 under-side ; Lampides telicanus, $ under-side ; and Lampides 

 bcetica, ? under-side. 



Messrs. W. West and S. R. Ashby exhibited some seventy 

 species of the Chrysomelidce and Curculionidaz, taken by them 

 in the New Forest this year, making in all more than 250 

 species exhibited as taken by them during their stay. The 

 most notable species were: Donacia sericea, D. discolor, 

 Phcedon armor aciaz, P. cochlearia, Hydrothassa marginella, Chry- 

 somela didymata, Longitarsus holsatica, Polydrusus flavipes, 

 P. conjluens, Strophosomus retusus, Sciaphilus muricatus, Sitones 

 cambricus, Hypera rumicis, H. plantagiuis, Thryogones festuca, 

 Rhynchites aneovirens, R. cceruleus, and R. minutus. 



Mr. Clark reported having noted some dozen Catocala nupta 

 on the walls of Paddington Infirmary; all were most con- 

 spicuous. Mr. Main had also seen a number of this species, 

 but always near trees which were infected by Cossus. 



Mr. Kaye exhibited a short series of bred Zephyrus betula, 

 fed up from the hibernating skin in closed tin boxes on plum. 

 The pupae were left in the boxes, and the butterflies emerged 

 there. The specimens were exceedingly fine and large, the
