 bellargiis, Rott., captured at Weymouth in August, 1892. 



Mr. Perks exhibited a Julus taken in Covent Garden 

 Market from some bananas which had been imported from 

 the Canary Islands. 



Several members, including Messrs. Edwards, Auld, 

 Mansbridge, and Turner, made remarks upon the Field 

 meeting in the New Forest which had been so successful. 

 The general opinion concerning the season was that imagines 

 were scarce, but that common spring larvse were unusually 

 abundant. 



Mr. Mansbridge said the results of his sugaring were very 

 poor, except on one evening which had been a milder one. 

 C alias edusa, L., had been seen by several members, and it 

 was hoped that the fine spring would result in an " edusa " 

 year. 



Mr. Winkley noted the greater abundance of birds in 

 suburban gardens. The missel thrush had been seen in his 

 own garden at Streatham. 



Mr. Carrington had been working near Lewes at the 

 Mollusca, and had found, contrary to what is usual, the 

 yellow form of both Helix neinoralis, L., and H. hortensis, 

 Mull., to predominate over the pink. He had obtained five 

 specimens of the six-banded form of the first-named, and 

 many specimens were markedly more conical than he had 

 previously seen.
