into the wing, and a narrow streak from the angle along the 

 inner margin, both of the same colour as the costa. 



Mr. Colthrup exhibited a very light variety of Abraxas 

 grossidariata, in which there were only a few black dots and 

 spots on the disc and at the base of the fore-wings, and a 

 marginal row of dots on the outer margin of both fore and 

 hind wings. The yellow clouding was contined to a small 

 basal area and to a narrow area along the submarginal line 

 of dots. He also showed a blotched form of Argynnis 

 {Breuthis) enphrosyjie, and a series of photographs of various 

 varieties and aberrations in his collection, including very 

 dark Strenia clathvata, almost white Bryophila muralis, very 

 light B. perla, very light and dark forms of Lymaniria {Psilura), 

 munacha, and dark Polia clii. 



Mr. Manger exhibited a very curiously stained form of 

 Callidryas dvya from Demerara. It was probable that the 

 marking had been caused by the fluid, expelled from the 

 abdomen soon after emergence, having touched the wings. 

 He also showed an example of Hclicopis cupido of the typical 

 form from Brazil, and a specimen of the very beautiful light 

 form found in Demerara, together with examples of Megis- 

 ianis bcrotns found in New Grenada. 



Mr. Alfred Sich exhibited a specimen of Bedellia soimm- 

 Icntella with its pupa-case. The pupa reminds one of the 

 Pierid pupa in miniature. He also exhibited a lantern 

 slide of a twig of currant, from Chiswick, very much like the 

 larva of a geometer moth. 



Mr. Montgomery exhibited very long and varied series of 

 Ficris napi reared from ova. 



The remainder of the evening was devoted to the exhibi- 

 tion of lantern slides. 



Mr. Tonge exhibited slides of larvae and ova of Lepi- 

 doptera. 



Mr. Warne exhibited slides of orchids and choice flowers. 

 Mr. Lucas exhibited slides illustrative of protective re- 

 semblance, on behalf of Mr. Hamm. He also showed slides 

 of plants, lepidopterous larva;, and of interesting spots in 

 the New Forest. 



Messrs. Harrison and Main exhibited slides of Diatoms, 

 Foraminifera, and plant life. 



Mr. Goulton exhibited slides of lepidopterous larvae. 

 Mr. Dennis exhibited slides illustrative of the haunts of 

 flowers and the characteristic and varying aspect of trees. 



Mr. Noad Clark exhibited slides of Foraminifera and 

 Polycistina.
