 the life-history of Sesia scoliiformis, Bork., from Rannoch, 

 Perthshire ; also Hepialis humuli, L., from the Shetlands, 

 with the van hethlandica, Staud. 



Messrs. Frohawk and Carpenter exhibited a long series of 

 Vanessa atalanta, L. Mr. Frohawk referred to the small

Mr. Carpenter called attention to the abundance of the

 remarked upon the variation in size; some were full-fed, 

 whilst others were only in their first skin.
