chorus fulgurans, Hal. ; Hyctodissa hicoruni, Fall, and one 

 specimen — a female — of Paniscus cephalotes, Holm. 



Mr. W. G. Sheldon exhibited Peinpelia palumbella, Fb.. 

 and Bomolochafontis, Thnb., from Leith Hill; Eupcecilia avian- 

 dana, H.-S., from Sanderstead, and with reference to this last 

 species, said that it was usuall)/ described in books as rare, 

 but he did not think it was so, as he had found it very com- 

 monly in the neighbourhood where he captured it. It appeared 

 to have a flight lasting about two minutes, and two minutes 

 only. 



Mr. R. South exhibited two varieties of Melitcsa cinxia, 

 L., from the Isle of Wight, which varied from the type in the 

 following manner : — Upper surface, fore wing : central line or 

 band absent, hind marginal lines interrupted. Under surface, 

 hind wing : the usual fulvous band towards hind margin much 

 contracted, and showing a tendency to break up and form 

 ocelli ; a fulvous patch extending from base of wing to the 

 external edge of usual basal band. Mr. South stated that the 

 male was taken on the nth June, and the female on the same 

 spot on the 17th June. Both had just emerged, and were 

 drying their wings at the moment of capture. (The two 

 specimens are figured Plate I. figs, i $ and 2 $ .) 



Mr. E. Step exhibited the skin of a stoat {Mtistela 

 erminea, L.), taken on the Society's excursion to Mickleham. 



Mr. W. G. Sheldon stated that he had recently seen a 

 Kangaroo at Leith Hill, and asked if any of the members 

 knew whether or not one or more of these animals had 

 recently been turned out in that locality. 



Mr. Rice had some recollection that three or four years 

 back there was some talk of kangaroos having been seen on 

 Leith Hill, and promised to make inquiries as to whether any 

 were kept in that district. 



Mr. Billups said that the Great Kangaroo and others of 

 its kindred breed freely in this country, many British-born 

 individuals existing in the Zoological Society's Gardens, and 

 in private collections.
