Mr. Main exhibited (i) Coleoptera from Cape Colony, 

 (2) Hemiptera from W. Africa, and (3) a spider taken among 

 a cargo of sugar from Java. 



Mr. Goulton exhibited photographs of the ova of Ptilophora

 graphs of the larvae of A inphidasys strataria, Drepana itnguicula, 

 Biston hirtaria, and Odontopera bidentata.

 cornis from Demerara. 



Mr. West exhibited an example of the rare British longi- 

 corn beetle, Monohainniis sutor, taken at Great Yarmouth, on 

 a doorstep, in 1903. 



Mr, McArthur exhibited a bred specimen of Pachnobia 

 hypcrborca {alpina) which had no trace whatever of the left

Mr. Malcolm Burr gave a very interesting address on his 

 tour in the countries bordering on the eastern shores of the 

 Adriatic Sea, with especial reference to Montenegro. He 

 illustrated his remarks upon the characteristics of the people, 

 the topography, and the peculiar entomological fauna with 

 a large number of lantern slides, made from photographs 

 taken by himself during his journey. 



APRIL i4fh, 1904. 



The President in the Chair. 



Mr. Tonge exhibited a further series of photographs of 

 the ova of Lepidoptera, including A ugiades {Pamphila) comma, 

 Anticlea badiaia, Biston hirtaria, Oporina croceago, Cerastis 

 vaccina, and Hybernia inarginaria. 



The President exhibited specimens of the shells of Limncca 

 peregra from the fountain basins in Trafalgar Square. They 

 were of the typical form although the shells were somewhat 

 thin. Mr. Clark said that their origin in that situation was 

 due to the custom of the sellers of watercresses washing 

 their market purchases in the basins in the early morning. 

 The thinness of the shells was no doubt due to the paucity 

 of lime in the water.
