New Forest Coleoptera and variation in Elatee sanguinolenta. 

 — Mr. W. West, Coleoptera taken by him recently in the New Forest, 

 including a fine series of Elater sangidnolenta, which had been abun- 

 dant, with extreme aberration of the dark marking, and seven yellow 

 forms. He also showed E. lythopterus, E. miniatm, Crijptoce'phalus 

 lineola, and the parasitic beetle Tomoxia higuttata. 



Stereoscopic slides shown. — Mr. Dennis, stereoscopic slides of 

 Orchis maculata and of Jimcus obtusifolius. 



An example of mimicry. A rare Euploea shown. — Mr. Edwards, 

 Euploea depuiseti var. lykeia from the Tailaut Isles, Malay, and the 

 Danaine Lycorea halias and its mimic the Arctiid Pericopis angvlosa 

 from Venezuela. 



A LOCAL capture. — Mr. Sich, an Ephestia taken in the room. 



The rare Coleopteron Gnorimus nobilis. — Mr. Lachlan Gibb, 

 specimens of the rare beetle Gnorimvs. nobilis from Hereford. 



Mr. Priske, the same species from Chiswick. 



A Paper. — Mr. Sich read a paper, " A Beginner's Eemarks on the 

 Tortricina." 



July 2bth. — Surrey Coleoptera, 1918. — Mr. Ashdown exhibited 

 aberrations of Leptura maculata (armata), a fine graduated series, also 

 Glythra 4i-punctata, Chrysomela orichalcea [3" and J ), and Ctesias {Tire- 

 sias) serra, all from Surrey. 



Bred Tortrices. — Mr. Barnett, a bred series of Epkippiphora scutu- 

 lana from Epping Forest, and its Hymenopterous parasite ; a bred 

 series of Cydia pomonella; and blue females of Polyommatus icarus. 



New Forest Coleoptera. — Mr. West, Coleoptera taken in the New

 atus, Ceuthorhynclius chrysanthemi, and Cleonus nebidosus.

Protective coloration in A. betularia larvae. — Mr. Mera, living 

 larvae of Amphidasis betularia. Brood A (1) on sallow and A (2) on 

 beech. Brood B (1) on sallow, B (2) on blackthorn. In both broods
