Mr. Frohawk exhibited a long bred series of both sexes of 

 Chrijsophanux dispar var. rutilus, from continental ova. The larvae 

 were fed on dock, sorrel, etc., and were very easy to rear. 



Mr. C. P. Pickett exhibited long and varied series including 1st 

 brood from Clandon in .Way ; 2nd brood from Folkestone in early 

 July, one of the females with the right forewing silvery over three 

 parts of its area ; 3rd brood from Folkestone in August, some being 

 extra large, and one specimen with elongated and united spots on 

 the forewing ; third brood from Leytonstone in August, one male 

 with the underside of the right hindwing having the black spots 

 on an orange ground-colour as in the forewings ; a fourth brood 

 from Northwood in October; all of this brood were small in size, 

 no female being larger than an average sized Ciipido nunimus. These 

 were all insects of the year 1911. He also exhibited a selection 

 from his captures and his breeding during the past ten years, 

 including many dark and suffused forms, several with irregular 

 white or silvery patches on the wings, and many unusually large 

 females with the blue spots on the hindwings very pronounced. 

 The exhibit also contained an example of Chrysophanus dispar, 

 originally in the " Briggs " collection. 



Mr. Edwards exhibited short series of (-'. cdcynpe and C. chincnsLs, 

 species from Central and Eastern Asia respectively, and closely 

 allied to 11. phlaas. 



In the subsequent remarks on the exhibits many members had 

 observed the species in gardens, city streets, etc., from which it had 

 never hitherto been recorded. Mr. Adkin said that the percentage of 

 variation to any striking degree seemed to him very small, but he 

 remarked that the later broods were somewhat darker in general 

 coloration. Mr. Newman had examined three to four thousand 

 specimens in the field and found varieties exceedingly scarce ; two 

 ab. striata, four with absence of band from hindwings, and one 

 with a pale wing were the only specimens of any note. He saw 

 neither ah. Hchinidtii nor ah. alba. Mr. Wheeler said that the species 

 was generally very scarce in Switzerland. Mr. Turner had this 

 year met with it in several places, but in previous years he had not 

 seen a single example during his collecting in the Alps. Mr. 

 Frohawk said that the larva in his experience was capable of going 

 into hibernation at any point of its larval existence. 



Mr. Ashdown exhibited a large number of species of Ehopalocera 

 taken in June and July in Switzerland and around Chamonix, 

 including Heodes virf/aurecr, Chri/sopha)iti.s hippot/me, Loweia alcipltron 

 var. yonliiis, L. dorilis, some sixteen species of Lycaenidae, Apatura
