fasciata, together with a form closely resembling var. des- 
changet. Mr. Barrett remarked upon the number of inter- 
mediate forms, and noted that although entomologists in 
this country had bred them somewhat freely, German 
entomologists only obtained them rarely. Some of the 
English radiate and fasciate forms were very beautiful. 
Mr. McArthur exhibited a living larva of Aplecta occulta, 
and a short series of Heliothis peltigera, bred from larve 
found in Dorset in 1895 by Mr. Nevinson. 
Mr. Bacot exhibited varied series of the Tephroszas. 
Mr. R. Adkin exhibited short series of Tephrosia biundularia, 
Bork., bred May 3rd to 26th, and of T. crepuscularia, Hub., 
bred March 30th to April 17th, both from parents taken at 
West Wickham Wood; also a series of the latter species 
bred by Mr. B. A. Bower in March and April, 1896, from 
ova obtained from a moth taken at Boxhill on July loth, 
1895 ; and a series of the summer brood, the offspring of the 
above, bred June 11th to 19th, 1896, many of them being 
fully as large in size as the spring examples. 
W. Hewett exhibited over one hundred specimens of T. 
crepuscularia from the following localities :—Swansea, Willes- 
~ borough, Oxton, Devon, Clevedon, and Reading, including 
several specimens of the summer brood, and twelve examples 
of var. passetita from Swansea; also fifty-six T. biundularia 
from York, and thirty-nine var. delamevensis. These ninety- 
five specimens had been carefully selected from captures 
made during five years in one locality. Two var. delamer- 
ensis from Sledmere, Yorks, two from Skipwith, Yorks, four 
from Delamere Forest, six from Swansea, also one second 
brood specimen of var. delamerensis from Swansea. In 
addition there were forty-one specimens of T. biundularia 
from Reading, Swansea, Clevedon, Oxton, Willesborough, 
Barnsley, West Wickham, Epping Forest, Trefin (North 
Wales), Rotherham, Enniskillen, Monaghan. Preserved 
larvee of both species were also shown. Specimens from 
Perth which Mr. Hewett considered referable to T. biundu- 
laria, but which Mr. Tutt thought to be T. crepuscularia. 
These were quite distinct from typical specimens of either 
T. bvundularia or T. crepusculana. 
He also exhibited, on behalf of Messrs. de Vismes Kane, 
of Monaghan, and Robertson, of Cheltenham, long series, 
the former of T. biundularia from numerous Irish localities, 
and the latter of both 7. biundularia and T. crepuscularia 
from Swansea. 
Mr. Hewett then read an interesting and exhaustive paper
