to be the female of H. a)utli!>), taken at Sandown, Isle of Wight, on 

 November, 1911, and considered rare ; two H. analis, from Shirley, 

 common ; and two Bledins aecerdendtis, a species which Dr. Joy 

 brought forward as new in the December " Entomologists' Monthly 

 Magazine." It was taken at Dovercourt by Mr, Newberry. 



Mr. H. Main exhibited Glow-worm larvse reared from eggs laid 

 in the autumn of 1910, and he and Mr. R. A. R. Priske com- 

 municated the following note : — " In continuation of the ' Notes on 

 the Glow-worm,' which were communicated last year [Proceedings 

 1910-11, pp. 74-6) we have to report that the larvje hatched from 

 eggs in September, 1910, are now (January llth, 1912) reduced to 

 three in number, but these seem to be progressing favourably. A 

 larva found in September, 1910, pupated on May, 28th, 1911, 

 disclosing a female pupa. This was liberated by the splitting of 

 the larval skin on the two sides in the anterior region, and the 

 pupa gradually worked its way out, as seen in Plate 4, Figs 1, 2. 

 The pupa was of a pinkish colour, and showed no trace of wings. 

 The imago emerged from the pupal skin on June 5th. Some 

 females confined in a box containing grass deposited a number of 

 eggs, each being attached to the grass. On December 27th last, on 

 the downs near Eastbourne, five young larvje were found under 

 stones. They were all fairly active and readily fed on snails and 

 slugs. It was also found that they would eat small pieces of earth- 

 worm. From the size of these larvje we judge that they will not be 

 fully developed till the spring of 1913." 



Mr. Main also showed the larva and imago of Oojpas oIchh. . 



Mr. Tonge reported that he had taken a specimen of Pidgalia 

 fedaria (pilosaria) on December 29th last at Reigate ; and had 

 found a Xylocampa areola [litlioriza) on a telegraph-pole near 

 Eastbourne on January 5th. 



Mr. A. E. Gibbs reported that Adofxca Uneola had been taken 

 during the past year in Herts, on the Cambridge border, by the 

 Rev. G. H. Raynor.
