with male coloration ; a diminutive example of Anthocharis 

 cardainines, and a fine aberration of the same species — the 

 dark tips on the primaries being suffused and extending 

 inwards (Angmering) ; also two partially bleached forms of 

 Epinephele janira. 



Mr. Ashdown a series of Coccinella hieroglyphica, with the 

 elytra varying from testaceous, without spots, to entirely 

 black, the series being otherwise very variable in the number 

 and shape of the markings. (From Oxshott, i8g6.) 



Mr. C. G. Barrett exhibited long series of the following 

 species, comprising nearly all the known local forms, viz. 

 Melanippe hastata, M. tristata, M. fluchiata, Boarmia repandata, 

 Eupithecia togata, E. extensaria, E. sobrinata, E. Stevensata. 



Mr. H. A. Auld exhibited two specimens of Colias edusa, 

 var. helice ; one Zygana lonicercE with partially diaphanous 

 hind wings ; two black vars. of Xylophasia monoglypha from 

 Ireland ; four specimens of Callimorpha hera, var. hdescens 

 (first series known to have been bred from British ova) ; 

 series of Spilosoma lubricipeda, including (i) var. fasciata, (2) 

 var. zaiima, and (3) a number of intermediate forms ; two 

 varieties of Abi'axas grossulariata ; one of Loniaspilis mar- 

 ginata ; one of Anaitis plagiata (broad-banded); one of 

 Spilosoma urticce minus the dorsal spot ; and four specimens 

 of D icy da 00, var. renago. 



Mr. Levett exhibited varieties of Callimorpha domimda, 

 bred from Deal larvae, three of them being yellow forms, of 

 which two were bred in 1892. 



Mr. Mera exhibited varieties of Arctia caia. i. The usual 

 markings quite displaced by an irregular white patch ex- 

 tending from base to more than half across the wing, with 

 the exception of a few brown spots and a brown dash along 

 the costa. Tips of wings almost normal. Hind wings with 

 only one small spot above the usual row of black spots. 

 2. The brown colour occupying nearly the whole wing, with 

 only some of the usual white markings indicated. 3. The 

 white markings very much increased, leaving only a few 

 brown markings. Black spots on hind wings very much 

 decreased in size and number. All were bred from Wan- 

 stead larvae. An example of Abraxas grosstdariata, in which 

 all the spots were blurred and indistinct, giving the insect 

 a somewhat grey appearance, while the usual yellow mark- 

 ings were entirely absent, the white part of the wings 

 being tinged with smoky, from Forest Gate, 1896 ; a 

 specimen of Cidaria silaceata, pale brown, the central 

 band indicated by paler lines, but the enclosed space was
