markings were also somewhat extended in this second 

 specimen. 



Mr. Brown exhibited a specimen of Lcucania favicolor 

 taken at Benfleet. 



Mr. Newman exhibited six examples of the hybrid Smerinthus 

 ocellatus-populi, which had emerged on the same day (August 

 27th). They were from ova laid in June. The specimens 

 show the markings of S.ocellatus well, but the "eyes," although 

 present, are somewhat blurred ; six specimens of Crymodes 

 exulis taken in Shetland in July, 1908, including two females, 

 which sex is rarely captured ; an aberration of A braxas 

 grossidariata, in which the hind-wings have only the discoidal 

 spot, and a spot on the inner margin present besides the 

 marginal band, the spots of which are large and rayed ; an 

 aberration of Melanargia galatca, having the left hind-wing 

 of the procida form, with the black markings coalesced and 

 enlarged, forming a wide marginal band ; and a shining red 

 woody fungus, Ponies lucidus, taken from a hornbeam in 

 Bexley Woods. 



Mr. Joy exhibited the living larva of Cyclopides palcemon 

 (paniscus) . 



Mr. Cowham exhibited two specimens of Amphidasys 

 betidaria, var. doubledayaria, in one of which the usual white 

 spot at the base of the fore-wing was absent on one side, and 

 represented by a scale or two only on the other, but there 

 was a white discoidal spot. In the second specimen the 

 fore-wings were normal, but the hind-wings had a large 

 whitish blotch on the costa. 



Mr. B. H. Smith exhibited a bred series of Eugonia 

 polycldoros from the New Forest. One specimen was a dark 

 smoky form, and in another there was a small spot below the 

 two central black spots of the fore-wing. 



Mr. Goff exhibited an aberration of Rumicia phlceas which 

 showed a complete absence of copper colour on the hind- 

 wings, the submarginal band of black spots being scarcely 

 traceable through the very dark ground colour. 



Mr. Alfred Sich exhibited mines of Nepticula acetoscc from 

 Surrey. Of the three mines exhibited the two on the right 

 hand side of the leaf are of the normal form, with a red 

 roundish blotch and a broad pale gallery. That on the left 

 hand side is abnormal, being almost throughout its whole 

 length a long, whitish, serpentine gallery. The reason of 

 the difference probably being that the larvae which made the 

 red mines fed up while the leaf was attached to the plant, 

 and the larva of the whitish gallery mine fed up after the leaf
