_ Mr. Montgomery exhibited a long series of bred Cidania 
truncata (russata). The ova were from three specimens taken 
at Eastbourne, and were deposited about June 17th. They 
hatched about June 28th, and fed up in some thirty days. 
The imagines emerged throughout August and early Sep- 
tember. All three of the parent specimens had strongly 
marked bright flesh-coloured central bands (as in specimen 
in small box, var. centum-notata), but none of those bred 
were of that form. 
He also exhibited a long bred series of Acidalia dinudiata 
(scutulata). The ova were from four specimens taken at 
Ealing, and were deposited on July 3rd. They hatched on 
July 12th, and fed up in about twenty-one days. The 
imagines emerged from August 16th to September 16th. 
Some half-dozen larve, however, did not feed up, and 
evidently intend to hybernate, as they were still quite small. 
Ova obtained from the above brood hatched September 2nd, 
and had moulted thrice. 
Mr. Newman exhibited two generations of Arctia caia, of 
which the first brood was reared from larve taken in lanes 
around Darenth, and the second brood resulted from this 
stock (a good deal of heat being used); the imagines emerg- 
ing between July toth and August 30th. Considerable 
variation was shown in the series. The light ground varied 
much, and in one specimen was very pink. Another had 
only a few white irregular lines on the fore-wings, the dark 
colour being much suffused. Two or three specimens showed 
the partially yellow change in the ground colour of the hind 
wings, and one was a good example of the yellow form. 
There seemed but little extension or restriction in size of 
the black markings of the hind wing. One small specimen 
was very pale, the richness of the fore-wings had all gone. 
The extent of variation was less in the second than in 
the first brood. 
Mr. Newman also exhibited the following species and 
varieties: 
Odonestis potatoria, from Darenth, several varieties from 
about 600 larve taken, including a male of female colora- 
tion and a mottled form of the male. 
Argynnis (Dryas) paphia, from Goodwood, with sym- 
metrical white patches on all the wings. 
Argynnts adippe, with slight extension of the dark mark- 
ings, also from Goodwood. 
Epinephele tanira, from Singleton, two remarkable speci- 
mens, the usual fulvous areas being as nearlyas possible white.
