wings. But the most remarkable thing about this specimen was 

 that the male side was the grey form while the female side was 

 the pink form, the very clean dividing line running down the 

 centre of the body. Another remarkable specimen was a uni- 

 colorous female without any of the usual m^arkings on the wings. 



Mr. Hy. J. Turner called attention to an article in the Bull. Soc. 

 F.nt. France by M. Roger Vedty of Florence, in which he names the 

 Scotch form of Erebia uthiops as var. Caledonia, distinguishing it 

 from the typical alpine race by its smaller size, its comparatively 

 narrower and longer wings, its narrow fawn-coloured band which 

 never contains more than three small ocelli (the alpine race often 

 has four or five, especially in the female), and its underside with 

 the transverse bands very often less distinct. In illustration of this 

 Mr. Turner exhibited a series of the Scotch form from Aviemore, 

 with a large number of examples from various central European 

 localities including Grindelwald males of medium size, very dark 

 ground, dark inconspicuous bands on forewings, bands on hindwings 

 broken more or less into blotches, eyespots without white centres ; 

 Brunnen males very similar ; Vitznau females large, very bright 

 banded, and well spotted ; Gemmi males and females large with 

 brown ground and bright markings ; Cortina, Tyrol, very dull 

 small forms comparable to the Scotch males ; Innsbruck, an 

 extremely dark male with very inconspicuous band ; Susa, male 

 with narrow broken band on fore- wing and small almost obliterated 

 blotches on the hind-wings ; Torre Pellice, very large males similar 

 to the last but very large ; Breganz, very large females with 

 brilliant bands and conspicuously centred spots, two specimens 

 with five spots on forewing, the rest with four; S. Jura, very light 

 banded females; near Sion, a small very light ground underside; 

 Oersau, an extremely large fine female underside of the form 

 leucoUmia, with six eye-spots on forewings, five of which are 

 white centred ; and near Stalden and Croda di Lago, light females^ 

 None of the continental specimens were smaller than the Scottish 

 race, and most of them were larger in wing area and generally 

 •corroborated the difterentiation as summarized above. 



Mr. Turner also exhibited a box of Luperina forms illustrative of 

 Luperina nickerUi var. (jiieneei, and stated that Dr. Chapman and 

 he had been aided in their investigation by references and material 

 most kindly sent by M. Oberthiir, of Rennes. The exhibit com- 

 prised a series of var. tfue>ieei from the Lancashire coast, L. (/raslini, 

 Obthr., from the Pyrenees- Urientales, L. nickerUi, from Bohemia, 

 L. testacea var. (jtieneei = \eiv. A of Guenee [Species Gen.) from
