Captain P. A. Cardew exhibited a new aberration of 

 Canohia rnfa, taken in Norfolk this year, with Q.h. fiisca for 

 comparison. Its distinguishing character was that it was

 {nieliloti), ab. confusa, taken in the New Forest this year, and 

 the following aberrations : Melanthia albicillata, with the 

 apical and basal blotches very much enlarged, and nearly 

 meeting on the costa ; Fidonia carbonaria, an extremely light 

 form and an extremel}' dark one, both from Rannoch ; Epionc 

 advcnaria, a unicolorous male, with unspotted fringe and 

 small in size ; and EmaUirga atomaria, a light straw-coloured 

 male, with obsolete transverse lines, taken at Dover.

 a specimen of Enchelia jacobcea:, in which the costal streak 

 was joined to the first outer. marginal blotch, and another 

 specimen of a very pale salmon colour ; a.Grauiniesia trilinea, 

 in which the outer of the two transverse lines across the 

 disc of the fore-wings was strongly elbowed, and then 

 continued to the inner margin, closely approached to the 

 inner line ;' and four specimens of Encldoe cardamines, a 

 male with very large discal black spots, a female ditto, 

 a male with very small discal black spots, and a female 

 with very lightly marked fore-wmgs. 



Mr. Percy Bright exhibited a large number of very fine 

 aberrations of British Lepidoptera, including:

 forms with fore-wings almost entirely black, and a bred 

 specimen without scales.

 and basal areas of the hind-wings, of a beautiful pale cream 

 colour. It was captured in the Warren at Folkestone.

 and an extremely pale specimen.
