rium, and now wished to hand over to the curator the

In presenting this first batch he would like to report 

 exactly what had been done. The original mounts had 

 undergone a necessary trimming of discoloured and ragged 

 edges, but the whole of Mr. Tugwell's data remained un- 

 touched ; they had then been mounted each in a four-page 

 cover of cartridge paper, so that in future the collection 

 could be turned over and searched without fear of damage to 

 the most delicate specimens. Mr, Tugwell had named and 

 numbered his specimens by the"London Catalogueof Plants," 

 3rd edition {circa 1850). Since that date many alterations 

 have been made in classification and older names have been 

 revived. In order, therefore, to make the collection useful 

 to readers of modern botanical literature, the first page of 

 each new mount had been numbered and named in accord- 

 ance with the latest (9th) edition of the " London Catalogue " 

 (1895). By this method the collection had been brought 

 up to date without the slightest interference with Mr. 

 Tugwell's own identifying marks and records, many of which 

 are of great interest as indicating the former flora of districts 

 that have now become merged in the metropolis or under- 

 gone similar destructive processes. 



Mr. Goulton exhibited a short series of photographs of 

 Lepidopterous larvae. 



Mr. Joy exhibited specimens of Aphantopiis {Epinephele) 

 hyperanthus (i) having white ocelli on the upper side of the 

 hind wing ; (2) ab. arete and near var. arete having the ocelli 

 of the underside either wholly or partially reduced to mere 

 dots, and (3) a form with elongate ocelli on the under side 

 approaching the form known as ab. lanceolata. 



Mr. R. Adkin gave an account of the annual meeting of 

 the South-Eastern Union of Scientific Societies held at Maid- 

 stone during the summer of 1904, and at which he attended 

 as the Society's delegate. 



He then read the Report of the Field Meeting held at 

 Eynsford on June 25th, 1904 (see p. 30). 



Mr. Lucas read the Report of the Field Meeting held at 

 Byfleet on July 23rd, 1904 (see p. 35), and afterwards showed 

 a number of lantern slides of which some had been kindly 

 lent to him by Mr. Hamm, of the Hope Museum, Oxford.
