Mr. Percy Bright exhibited a large number of British 

 Lepidoptera, including several exceedingly tine aberrations 

 of Dryas paphia, Argyiinis aglaia, A. adippc, Brcnthis 

 cuphrosyne, B. selcne, Melitcea aurinia, and M. athalia. In one 

 example of B. etiphrosyne the ground colour was white, and 

 this also was the case in one specimen of M. athalia. Other 

 specimens exhibiting albinism were Aglais {Vanessa) urticce 

 and Cixnonympha paniphilns (a pair). Besides black or nearly 

 black specimens of Liincnitis sibylla, there was a melanic 

 example of Satiirnia carpini (captured by the late Mr. J. A. 

 Clark) and a melanic male specimen of Dicranitra vinula 

 (found on a lamp-post at Scarborough). Further exponents 

 of melanism in Lepidoptera were one example of Selenia illus- 

 tvaria and a short series of Boarmia repandata. Of gynandro- 

 morphs there was one example oiCclasivina argiolns. A number 

 of other interesting varieties were included in this exhibit. 



Among other specimens of Lepidoptera exhibited by Mr. 

 A. W. Buckstone were a female Euchloc cardamines with 

 splashes of orange colour on the under-side of the fore-wing ; 

 a dark female example oi Brcnthis selene ; Rnuiiciaphlccas, ab. 

 sclunidtii ; Bithys quercns oh. bclla ; a large female specimen 

 oi Arctia caia, the hind-wings of which were yellow ; small 

 specimens of a partial third generation oi Phvaguiatobia fnli- 

 ginosa reared in confinement ; a bred specimen of Enchelia 

 jacobcBce, with melanic hind-wings ; and a dark example of 

 Hcmcrophila abrnptaria, which emerged in October, instead 

 of remaining in the pupa, as is more usually the case, until 

 the following spring. 



Mr. West, the Curator, exhibited the Society's collection 

 of Anthribidcc and Curculionidcr, which he had recently re- 

 arranged. 



Mr. Tonge exhibited a large number of stereographs of 

 Lepidoptera. 



Mr. H. jNL Edelsten exhibited a bred series of Nonas^ria 

 ncurica (Hb.) {cdelstcni), with ab. rufcsccns and ?ih. fiisca ; also 

 ova and pupa in^ situ, and photographs by Mr. Main to show 

 the life-history of the species. 



Mr. G. St. Aubyn exhibited an interesting variety of 

 Melanippc sociata, female, taken at Oxshott, June 14th. The 

 broad dark band on the fore-wings is completely severed in 

 the middle, and does not reach to the costa. The under- 

 side is much darker than usual ; there also appears to be a 

 greenish tint over the wings.
