and one of the natives present asserted that they were real leaves 

 that the insect had fastened to its tody. At present this species 

 appears only to be known from North Borneo. My friend is three 

 day's journey from the nearest white man, and to relieve him from 

 the tedium of his surroundings, I hope to make an entomologist of 

 him, or, at least, a collector, and so benefit us both." 



The Lepidoptera of a London Garden. — Mr. Robert Adkin 

 exhibited the following specimens taken in his garden at Lewisham, 

 during the year 1911, being additions to the list given with his 

 paper ("Proc. S. Lond. Ent. Soc," 1910, pp. 1-12). 



Pliisia luoneta.- — A single specimen taken on the wing, July 7th. 



Eupithecia i!<o;irai)i}t!oria. — Came to light in the house, August 

 18th. 



Monopis rusticdla. — Was taken flying in the summer-house, 

 May 24 th. 



Gracilaria syrnii/dla. — Taken on the wing under trees in the 

 early evening of May 26th. 



Aniiiiexthia (ju'dartella. — Two specimens came to light on the 

 nights of July 19th and 21st respectively. 



Gelechia iiialvelld. — Two specimens came to light, July 21st. 

 This species is supposed to feed in the seeds of Marsh Mallow, a 

 plant which, so far as I am aware, does not grow in our immediate 

 neighbourhood, and I think it very probable that the larva may 

 have found a suitable pabulum in the seeds of the hollyhocks, 

 which have been grown for some years in adjacent gardens. 



Mr. A. E. Gibbs exhibited an aberration of Pi/raincis atalanfa, 

 and contributed the following note : — " This specimen of Pyrameis 

 atalanta was bred from a larva taken on the Col de Yizzavona, 

 Corsica, on July 13th, 1911. Both larvte and pup^e were found in 

 some abundance on the nettles on the waste ground opposite the 

 hotel, where also several colonies of Aylais iirtica, var. ichnusa were 

 feeding. I fed up a good many of each species, var. ichnusa yielding 

 no varieties, but among the P. atalanta, which emerged during the 

 first few days in August was a specimen in which the diagonal 

 bands of the primaries and the marginal band of the secondaries are 

 more or less pink, and which proximally on the forewing and 

 distally on the hmdwing are almost white. A more typical 

 specimen of the southern narrow banded form from the same 

 brood is shown for comparison." 



Mr. Stanley Blenkarn exhibited five specimens of AiitJirocera 

 (Zi/!i(ina) trifolii var. confhiens from Withycombe and Horsley; two 

 specimens of HnwahAa decipiens, Sharp (believed on the continent
