Mr. Harrison, in July, at Meiringen, Bernese Oberland, with 

 an example of var. pyrcnaica, taken at Gavarnie, Pyrenees, in 

 August, 1905, characterised by extreme brightness of colour 

 in the bands which contain large, circular, unpupilled spots; 

 (3) E. blandina, taken at Engelberg, near the Titlis, in 

 August, by Mf. Turner ; (4) E. ligea, taken by Mr. Turner, 

 on the Rigi, in August — a very finely ocellated under-side ; 

 (5) E. tyndarus and E. goante, taken in the Schollenen gorge 

 on the pass going to Andermatt above the St. Gotthard 

 tunnel, where Mr. Turner found them common in August, 

 but somewhat worn ; (6) Enodia hyperanthes, three specimens 

 taken in July, near the Little Scheidegg, by Mr. Harrison, 

 the first a S with only one very slightly developed black dot 

 on the upper side, the second a ? with two well developed 

 white pupilled eye-spots on the upper side of each wing, and 

 the third a very strongly marked under-side, with general 

 dark ground and only ill developed lines ; three other 

 specimens taken by Mr. Turner, near Lucerne, in August, 

 somewhat worn, the under-sides very light, in ground colour, 

 with mere traces of transverse markings ; in one specimen 

 some of the eye-spots were distinctly sagittate in shape. 



Mr. Turner also showed (1) the life history of Coleophora 

 ohtusella, the larva of which makes a case of the seed-vessel 

 of J uncus maritime/,. The young larvae were sent to him by 

 Mr. Eustace Bankes, from the Isle of Wight, in the autumn 

 of 1905, and imagines were bred freely in July of the present 

 year. A large number of imagines were sacrificed to obtain 

 ova — but unsuccessfully ; (2) a similar life history of Gonio- 

 doma limoniclla, from larvae, sent by Mr. Bankes, from the 

 Isle of Wight, and from the Essex marshes ; (3) an imago 

 of G. auroguttclla, and pointed out the distinction between 

 the two species. In the former the head was fuscous, the 

 antennas with dark fuscous rings, and with a basal tuft of 

 closely adpressed hairs, while the latter had a whitish face and 

 head, and a deeply black-ringed antenna, with a basal tuft of 

 hairs standing out, expanded somewhat. In G. av.roguttclla 

 the palpi are large and prominent, while in G. limoniclla they 

 are not nearly so obtrusive. The fore wings of the former 

 are rich golden yellow, the costal cilia being pale ; at the 

 apex one of the golden lines runs out dark brown into the 

 cilia. In the latter the fore wings are ochreous orange, the 

 costal cilia are dark ; the apical streak is black in the cilia. 

 G. auroguttclla has pale grey hind wings, G. limoniclla has 

 them dark grey. The position and form of the longitudinal 

 lines also differ.
