in the others much reduced, but all having a distinct yellow 

 shade in the ground colour. They all resulted from cross- 

 pairing between selected forms. 



Mr. J. W. Schoon exhibited Aporia cratcegi, taken this 

 summer in north-east Kent, male and female. 



Tapinostola bondii, taken this summer at Folkestone. 



Bryophila muralis {glandifera) . taken this summer at Folke- 

 stone, except the first four, which were bred from pupae 

 taken at Cheriton, Kent.

DECEMBER 12th, 1907. 



Mr. H. W. Andrews, F.E.S., of Welling, Kent, was elected 

 a member. 



Mr. L. W. Newman exhibited a large number of pupae of 

 Pieris napi just as the larvae had spun up on the top of the 

 box in which they had fed. Considerable range of colora- 

 tion was shown, one pupa being a vivid green. A specimen 

 of Ennomos aiitumnaria devoid of speckled markings and 

 with the tips of the wings very red. A bred specimen of 

 Xylomyges conspicillavis from Worcester. A pair of Drcpana 

 liarpagida (sicula) from Leigh Woods, 1876 ; and specimens 

 of Trigonophora flammea (cmpyrea) from Lewes, 1889. 



Mr. E. Step exhibited specimens of the following fungi 

 from Oxshott : Phlcbia radiata, a rare species of Hydnei, 

 growing on dead birch ; Cantharclhis carbonarius, growing on 

 dead leaves at the Black Pond; and Lenzites betulina, on the 

 dead fallen birch at the same place. 



Mr. Tonge exhibited a number of stereographs of entomo- 

 logical subjects. 



Mr. W. J. Kaye exhibited a series of Acidalia humiliata, 

 caught by himself on Jul)' 25th, 1907, on the face of the cliffs 

 at Freshwater, Isle of Wight. He said that this was the 

 only locality in Britain, but that the species was there in 

 great abundance, though, for the most part, unget-at-able. 

 Continental specimens are, as a rule, considerably larger, 

 and had the red stripe on the costa more pronounced. The 

 species was out at Freshwater from July nth to 31st, and 

 was over by the latter date. 



Mr. South exhibited a series of Eupithecia castigata, bred 

 from ova, and compared them with a captured series of the 

 same species. None of the former showed the brownish 

 suffusion which is the characteristic of captured examples.
