Mr. Hamm sent for exhibition a photograph of an 

 aberration oi Papilio niachaon, which was bred on June i6th, 

 igo2, from larvae found at Wicken Fen in August, 1901. 

 Neither wings nor markings were symmetrical. The hind 

 wings were more elongated than in typical specimens, and 

 the antennae were shorter. There was a large amount of 

 irregular black suffusion, and a suppression of some of the 

 area usually yellow in colour. 



Mr. A. L. Rayward exhibited six pupae of Papilio machaon 

 obtained from larvae taken at Wicken Fen on August 3rd, 1902. 

 The food was fen carrot and, subsequent to capture, leaves 

 of garden carrot. Of ten pupae, seven were grey-brown and 

 three green, most of the grey-brown having selected brown 

 stems on which to pupate, and two green ones stems that 

 were green at time of pupation. Among the six exhibited, 

 however, were noticed one green pupa attached to a brown 

 stem and one grey-browm attached to a green stem. 



Mr. E. Step exhibited an album of botanical photographs, 

 mostly taken at the Society's field meetings during the past 

 summer. 



Dr. Chapman exhibited forms of Ccenonyinpha pamphiliis 

 from Cannes, Locarno, Reigate, Socterstoen (Norway), 

 Bejar and Tragacete (Spain), illustrating the variation in 

 marginal colouring, the development of ocelli, and especially 

 in the change of tints and markings in the var. lyllus. 



LyccEua corydon in Swass forms — in the form corydonitis 

 from Tragacete (Spain), and in two forms oi xar. hispana, one 

 fairly constant form from Albarracin and Cuenca, the other 

 varying much in the strengthoftheblackborderandfrom Avila. 



Erebia stygne, var. bcjarensis, a large form, nearly half as 

 large again as the Swiss form, and more richly coloured and 

 well marked, from Bejar, in Spain. 



LyccEua argiis, var. bejar ends, from Bejar, a form much larger 

 than any other variety of the species, brilliantly marked and 

 coloured, and suggesting that argus (csgon of British lists), 

 zephyrns, and lycidas are local forms of one species. 



Mr. Tonge exhibited — 



1. Strenia clathrata (black var.) ; this w^as netted in a 

 stubble field near Andover, Hants, in company with numer- 

 ous typical examples, July 20th, 1899. 



2. Phyllocnistis suffusella, bred series, Reigate, 1902. 



3. Lithocolletis qnercifoliclla, a short series bred from oak, 

 and a similar series from beech. Mr, Tonge stated that he 

 could find no record of the latter food being noted previously. 

 Reigate, 1902.
