Mr. Step exhibited, from Cheshire, a plant with flowers, 

 of the alien composite, Cotula coronopifolia, a native of the 

 South of Europe. 



Mr. Clark exhibited the seed head of the Narrow-leaved 

 Pepper-cress (Lcpidium ruderale), one of the smaller Crucifers, 

 with a long raceme of minute flat pods. Although chiefly 

 associated with seaside neighbourhoods, it had become 

 abundant along the waysides and waste places about the 

 north-west suburbs of London, and was being sold in the 

 streets for table decoration. 



Mr. Coote exhibited living larvae of Cyaniris (Cclastrina) 

 argiolus from Eastbourne, and pointed out the holes in the 

 ivy berries made by them when extracting the contents ; a 

 photograph of the lizard orchis, 0. hircina, found in Wilt- 

 shire, much farther west than has been recorded hitherto ; a 

 specimen of Lyccena (Agriadcs) corydon, with most of the 

 usual eye-spots absent on the underside, from Eastbourne ; 

 a dark-banded form of Ennomos angularia, from Dulwich ; 

 and a very light form of Anger ona prunaria, from the Isle of 

 Wight. 



Mr. Henry J. Turner exhibited several males of Parnassius 

 delius, taken in the Engadine, on the slopes of Piz Julier, in 

 early August, 1907, and specimens of Colias palczno, taken at 

 St. Moritz on the same date. With the latter were placed 

 specimens of the same species taken in Norway by Dr. 

 Chapman, and although the colour and markings were 

 practically identical in appearance, yet the shape of the 

 wings in the latter specimens differed considerably in length 

 and contour. 



Mr. Alfred Sich exhibited Tineola bisclliella, bred from pupae 

 given to him by Mr. W. West, of Lewisham. The larvae fed 

 on red cloth, and the resulting imagines, over a dozen, are of 

 large size, measuring 16 mm. in expanse. Borkhausenia pseudo- 

 spretella : the larvae were found in flax-seed, and given to him 

 by Mr. W. West. The imagines appeared at intervals of a 

 month or more. Zonitoidcs nitidus : a snail widely distributed 

 over the British Isles, inhabiting damp localities, and often 

 found in company with Agriolimax lesvis, a small red-brown 

 slug. The specimens were taken by Mr. George Nicholson 

 on the banks of the Thames. Panicum sanguinale : a Euro- 

 pean grass ; in Britain a cornfield casual. From his garden 

 at Chiswick. 



Dr. Chapman exhibited a form of Lyccena {Plebeius) argus 

 (agon), from the Pyrenees, which was of a uniform dark 

 colour without markings on the upper side ; and larvae and
