Mr. A. Harrison, F.L.S., F.E.S., in the Chair. 



Mr. W. West (Greenwich) exhibited specimens and series 

 of nearly ninety species of British Homoptera, mainly taken 

 by himself, and which he gave to the Society to form the 

 nucleus for a typical collection of the sub-order. It should 

 be remembered that Mr. West had on a former occasion 

 given the Society a similar nucleus for a typical collection of 

 the British Heteroptera, to which he had since added con- 

 siderably. 



Mr. Barnett exhibited a long series of Bryophila muralis 

 (glandifera) taken at Shorncliffe in August, and also a series 

 of B. perla, including an unusually dark specimen. 



Mr. J. W. Kaye exhibited a previously unknown species of 

 Pnpilio near P. latinus, together with a new species of Sphin- 

 gidse allied to Ambulyx strigilis. They were both taken by 

 himself at Bartica in British Guiana, during a collecting 

 tour on the Demerara and Essequibo Rivers in June, July, 

 and August of the present year. 



Mr. H. Moore exhibited two specimens of Phlegethonthis 

 (Sphinx) convolvuli taken in Rotherhithe this autumn, and 

 also a specimen of Sphinx ligustri bred from a larva taken in 

 the same place. 



Messrs. Harrison and Main exhibited six specimens of 

 P. (S.) convolvuli taken by them on the Romford Road, at 

 the electric light. 



Mr. Robert Adkin exhibited bred series of Plusia monela 

 and P. gamma, together with some of the cocoons from which 

 the species were bred, and contributed the following notes : 



" The P. moneta are part of the moths reared from fifty-six 

 larvae that were taken on one large plant (or perhaps, to speak 

 more correctly, clump of plants) of a Delpliinium growing in
