Mr. Newman exhibited a number of well marked aberrations 

 irom the collection of Mr. S. G. Hill of Folkestone, including four 

 •of the " black" form of Limenitis sibijlla, Diacrisia sannio {riissula) 

 with the bands on the hind wings absent, a very varied series of 

 Colias hyale taken at Folkestone in 1900, including a specimen in 

 which the apex of each forewing was entirely black, several fine 

 Aricia inedoii (aatrarche) with no markings on the upper side, a 

 C. ediisa var. obmleta, and several var. helicc, of which one was an 

 intermediate. 



Mr. R. South exhibited a long series of Acidalia virtiidaria, Hiibn., 

 and contributed the following note : — 



"Three generations of moths, reared in 1911, the descendants of 

 a female captured at Bishop Auckland, Durham, in August 1910. 

 All the specimens of the first generation were of large size and well 

 marked. Those of the second generation were small, pale in colour, 

 and only faintly marked. The imagines of the third generation 

 were mainly of the second brood or summer form, but a few of 

 them were similar in all respects to the first or spring form, and 

 these were the last to emerge. Some larvae from moths of .second 

 generation did not feed up, but hibernated in the usual way. 

 Larvte from moths of the third generation are also hibernating, but 

 they are less than half the size of the others." 



Mr. .Joy exhibited two examples of Apatura iria bred from larvre 

 taken in the New Forest on August 11th, 1911. Out of a number 

 of larvfB which he was keeping, two raced on, with the result 

 that they pupated instead of hibernating. The female emerged 

 on November 19th, 



Mr. Blenkarn exhibited several light specimens of Lithosia 

 deplana, obtained from the neighbourhood of Margate, with several 

 dark specimens from Esher ; and a specimen of Periplaneta 

 austialaaiie, a cockroach not very often found in this country. It 

 was taken from a case of oranges from Jamaica. 



Mr. Edwards exhibited male and females of the remarkable 

 sexually dimorphic species Enripiis halitherses, the females greatly 

 resembling the Euploeine species Daniaepa {Euplwa) rliadaniantlms. 



Mr. C. P. Pickett exhibited a female specimen of Hipparcliia 

 seniele bred from a larva taken at Folkestone, and showing the dark 

 rich mottling of the underside, the outer edges of the hindwings 

 being of a rich mottled black with conspicuous black central 

 markings, while the upperwings were of a rich golden-brown with 

 the usual black markings much deeper in tone.
