side. The wings on this side are rather smaller than those 

 on the right. 



(2) A specimen of Epinephele jurtina {ianira), from North 

 Cornwall. A dull, somewhat bleached example. 



(3) Zonosoina pendularia, var. subroseata. Two specimens 

 from Staffordshire, and one of the type for comparison. 



(4) Boarniia repandata. A series from North Cornwall, with 

 var. conversaria, and other series from Wiltshire, and from the 

 Isle of Lewis. The Cornish insects have a buff or yellowish 

 tone, and are generally lighter than the Wiltshire specimens. 

 The Hebrides series had been exhibited here before, but were 

 brought again for comparison with the southern insects. 



(5) Aplcda nebulosa, series from North Cornwall, from Dela- 

 mere Forest, including var. robsoni, and from Epping Forest. 

 " The Cornish form is light, and practically indistinguishable 

 from insects taken in several of the southern counties, and 

 also in Scotland — in Argyllshire. The Delamere and Epp- 

 ing insects are very much alike, except that we do not find 

 the melanic form known as robsoni, and intermediates 

 between this and the prevailing form, in Epping Forest." 



(6) Miana strigilis. — Series from North Cornwall and from 

 Delamere Forest. In a long series taken in Cornwall there 

 were none of the black form, but there was a considerable 

 range of variation in colour. Almost all the specimens taken 

 in Delamere Forest were of the black form exhibited. 



(7) Hybernia marginaria. — A few melanic insects, and one 

 typical and one intermediate, taken in a suburb of Liverpool 

 last spring. The dark forms seem to be very common there. 



(8) Pieris napi. — One cabinet drawer containing examples 

 of the spring brood from North Cornwall, where this species 

 seems to be somewhat larger than those obtained from other 

 counties. " For comparison we have put in specimens of the 

 same brood from Enniskillen. Among the Cornish insects is 

 one female with the under-surface of a deep yellow, almost 

 orange colour. The artificial light hardly does justice to 

 this colour. The Cornish series is bred from ova deposited 

 by the summer brood, whilst the Enniskillen series is from 

 ova deposited by the spring brood, and remaining in pupa 

 through the autumn and winter till the following spring. 

 (9) A drawer of the same species, being the =;ummer brood 

 from Enniskillen and from Delamere Forest, both series 

 being bred from ova deposited by the spring brood. The 

 Irish specimens are, as usual, much more strongly marked, on 

 both upper and under surfaces, and are handsomer insects 

 than the English."
