September 23rd, 1903. It is a known inhabitant of Asia 

 Minor, N. Africa, and Southern Italy. (See " Ent. Mo. 

 Mag.," 1903, p. 269). 



Mr. J. W. Kaye exhibited two remarkable aberrations of 

 Tceniocampa stabilis : (i) ATemale example with shining pale 

 hind wings, with the trafisverse line and lunule distinct; the 

 fore-wings were brick-red. The specimen suggested a hybrid 

 between miniosa and stabilis. It was taken at Caterham in 

 1893. (2) A female specimen with grey fore-wings, the lines 

 strongly black, and a broad black fascia passing through the 

 reniform stigma. 



Mr. Mc Arthur exhibited a specimen of Hippotion {Charo- 

 campa) celerio, captured at Brighton by Mr. Clayton, at the 

 railways works, on October 24th, (see " Ent.," 1903, p. 292). 



Mr. Colthrup exhibited a large number of the various 

 species and forms of British Anthrocerids (Zygsenids), and 

 contributed the following note : 



"Series of Z. meliloti from the New Forest. One specimen, 

 with spots confluent on the right wing only. A series of var. 

 hippocrcpidis (Steph.) from Folkestone, and a series of three 

 Jilipcndula; from Shoreham, Kent, for comparison. Chief, 

 points of difference noted : The fore-wings m var. hippocrcpidis 

 are broader, and in colour the males are a dark blue-green 

 (more like the colour of Z. trifolii). In the females they are 

 light bronze-green, like the males and females of Z . fili- 

 pendiilce. The hind wing of var. hippocrcpidis has a very broad 

 border of blue-green (like Z. trifolii), with a notch of the 

 same colour, where the outline of the wing breaks in, just 

 before it reaches the anal angle. In Z . filipcndulcB the border 

 is narrow, and the notch is not generally present. The var. 

 hippocrcpidis emerged from pupae, June 15th to 30th, 1902, 

 and the Z . filipendulce emerged July 21st to 28th of the same 

 year. One specimen of Z . filipendulce had all spots confluent. 

 A series of Z. trifolii from Folkestone and Torquay, in- 

 cluding the var. conflucns, and a series of Z . lonicercB from 

 Ireland and Flamborough, for comparison. The latter from 

 Flamborough were extremely large, being far and away the 

 largest insects in the whole exhibit. 



" A series of Z. minos from Wales (Abersoch) were also in- 

 cluded." 



Dr. Fremlin exhibited an example of Hemaris (Macroglossa) 

 bombyliformis, taken this season in the New Forest. 



Mr. Tonge exhibited very finely executed photographs of 

 the ova of Nimicria pulvcraria, Oporabia autwnnaria, and 

 H enter ophila abruptaria.
