their attacks. Messrs. Fenn, Watson, and others took part in the discussion which 

 ensued, and a hearty vote of thanks to Mr. Carrington was unanimously passed. —

Entomological Society of London : October 18th, 1893. — Henet John 

 Elwes, Esq., F.L.S., F.Z.S., President, in the Chair. 



Professor C. H. Tyler Townsend, of the Institute of Jamaica, Kingston, Jamaica, 

 was elected a Fellow of the Society. 



Mr. R. Adkin exhibited two Leucania vitellina and one L. extranea, taken by 

 Mr. B. W. Adkin in the Scilly Islands, in August, 1893. 



Mr. R. South exhibited a specimen of Polyommatus boeticus, and a number of 

 varieties of Chrysophanus Phlceas, captured in Kent, in September last, by Mr. 

 Sabine ; also a curious variety of Argynnis Euphrosyne, taken in Lancashire in 

 May, 1893, by Mr. T. Baynes ; a pallid variety of Vanessa urticm, taken by Mr. W. 

 E. Cox in Monmouthshire, in July, 1893; and a Triphcena pronuba,ih.e right wings 

 of which were typical, and the left wings resembled the variety innuba, caught at 

 sugar, in Dovedale, Derbyshire, by Mr. Blagg, in July, 1893. 



Mr. Q-. H. Yerrall exhibited a specimen of the Tsetse (Glossina morsitans), and 

 also one of the common European allied species {Stomoxys calcitrans). He also 

 exhibited a specimen of HcBmatobia serrata, Dsv., which he stated was not uncom- 

 mon on cattle in England, but believed to be harmless ; while in North America the 

 dreaded " horn-fly " is said to be the same species. 



Mr. Elwes exhibited a larva which he had found three days previously under 

 stones on a moraine, apparently quite destitute of vegetation, in the Tyrol, at an 

 elevation of about 7000 feet. He remarked on the number of Alpine butterflies, 

 some of them in fresh condition, which he had seen whilst chamois-hunting in the 

 Tyrol during the last week, and he suggested that in such a fine autumn as the 

 present one collectors might find more novelties among the larvae of Alpine species 

 than in the summer. 



Colonel Swinhoe read a paper, entitled, " A list of the Lepidoptera of the 

 Khasia Hills " (Pt. 2). Mr. Elwes said he thought all Entomologists would be 

 grateful to Colonel Swinhoe, Mr. Hampson, Mr. Meyrick, and others, for the work 

 they had recently been doing in describing the moths of India ; but as the district 

 of the Khasia Hills was probably richer in species than any other part of India, 

 except Sikkim, and new species were being received almost daily, it was impossible 

 to make any list complete. Mr Jacoby, Mr. McLachlan, Mr. Jenner Weir, and 

 Colonel Swinhoe continued the discussion. 



Mr. E. Meyrick communicated a paper, entitled, " On a Collection of Lepi- 

 doptera from Upper Burma." The author stated that the species enumerated in 

 the paper were collected by Surgeon-Captain Manders whilst on active service in the 

 Shan States and their neighbourhood, shortly after the British annexation of the 

 territory. A discussion followed, in which the President, Surgeon-Captain Manders, 

 and Co-lonel Swinhoe took part. 



November 8th, 1893.— The President in the Chair. 



Mr. Henry Jerome Turner, of 13, Drakefell Road, Hatchara, S.E. ; Mr. F. W. 

 Urich, of Trinidad, West Indies ; and Mr. John Cooper Webb, of 32, Henslowe 

 Road, Dulwich, S.E. ; were elected Fellows of the Society.
