forms of Helix nemoralis, L., from different localities : — Two 

 specimens of mons. sinistrorsa, Colb., from Bundoran, co. 

 Donegal, Ireland, var. albolabiata. Von Mart., Arran Isles, 

 CO. Galway, forms which although occurring in H. hortensis, 

 were very rare in H. nenioralis ; var. major, Fer., from the 

 South Downs, near Falmer ; numerous examples of (12)345, 

 from various localities ; and a number of sub-fossil forms 

 from Dog's Bay, Galway. Thelatter were a very interesting 

 exhibit, and it was stated that they were only found in a 

 very restricted locality on the West Coast of Ireland, con- 

 sisting of a series of sands on which were here and there 

 mounds or kitchen middens, containing paljeolithic imple- 

 ments. The specimens shown were much thicker than 

 recent forms, and had evidently undergone a certain amount 

 of calcification, although several specimens showed bands. 



Mr. Ashdown exhibited a series of specimens of Lepi- 

 doptera from Leatherhead, including an interesting variety 

 of Melanippe sociata, Bork., having the transverse narrow 

 white band which starts from the costa on the right fore- 

 wing bent round the discoidal spot to meet the costa again, 

 forming a most unusual and remarkable aberration of the 

 customary markings. 



Mr. Step communicated a list of British Stalked-eyed 

 Crustacea, including all the recently-discovered species, with 

 references to the species which were described in Bell's 

 " Crustacea " (see pp. 92 — 96).

Mr. Robert Adkin exhibited a specimen of Mesogona 

 acetosellce, Fb., a species not previously recorded as British, 

 which was taken at sugar by Mr. Thomas Salvage in his

 last. This specimen is figured and fully described " Entom.," 

 xxviii., p. 317. 



Mr. Adkin also exhibited a series of Coremia nmnitata, 

 from Hoy, Orkney, with a series of the same species from 

 Shetland and Paisley, and of C. designata, Hufn. (propugnata, 

 Fb.), for comparison, and read the following note :
