cosoma castrensis, two very small males bred from Essex, 

 measuring only 24 mm., one of them being exceptionally 

 pale; and Anthroccra ftlipcndulce, from Chatham, several 

 specimens in which the sixth spot of the fore wing was 

 prominent by its size and brightness, and very clearly 

 divided by the dark nervure. 



Mr. Grosvenor exhibited a long series of Lycana {Polyom- 

 matus) corydon and L. bellargus, showing considerable varia- 

 tion, and pointed out one specimen of the latter with the 

 usual discoidal spots wholly absent. The veining of this 

 species was abnormal. 



Mr. Newman exhibited a long series of Hypsipetcs sordiata 

 (elutata). Many were bred from bilberry growing around 

 Sheffield, and included numerous fine red forms ; others 

 were bred from larvae taken off hazel and numerous melanic 

 specimens were obtained. He also showed another gynan- 

 dromorphous Amorpha populi. 



Mr. Newman recorded the occurrence in N. Kent of coal- 

 black shiny forms of Oporabia dilutata, and also black aber- 

 rations of Cheimatobia brwnata. 



Mr. Sich read a paper, " Rhopalocera in the Taunus 

 Hills" (see page 8), and exhibited some of the imagines 

 obtained. 



NOVEMBER itf/i, 1907. 



Mr. Newman exhibited series of Plusia bractca, captured in 

 Aberdeenshire in July, 1907, and P. chryson (orichalcea) bred 

 from larvae taken in Cambridgeshire ; also sprays of garden 

 chrysanthemums on which two very differently coloured 

 flowers were growing. 



Dr. Hodgson exhibited photographs and drawings of details 

 of the lizard orchis {Orchis hircina) found in Sussex in July, 

 1907. On comparison of this species with Aceras longi- 

 bracteata, from the Alps, having whitish pollinia on one viscid 

 disc, and with Aceras anthropophora, they seem to form a 

 much more natural group than 0. hircina with O.pyramidalis. 

 The labellum with bifid termination in 0. hircina comes 

 nearer to A . anthropophora than to any English member of 

 the genus Orchis. 



A short series of Spilodcs palcalis, showing dark shading 

 on the fore-wings in varied gradation ; from the neighbour- 

 hood of Dover, where it was abundant this year. Lycccna 

 (Plcbeius) argns {agon) females, destitute of orange scaling 

 on the upper side, that from Surrey being nearly black, and
