the species which represented P. dispar, on the continent, was 

 confined to marshes. Mr. South rephed that he understood 

 that rutilus, which was the continental representative of 

 P. dispar, was always found on ground of a marshy 

 character. 



Mr. Tutt mentioned that the species referred to as 

 Milanippe galiata by Mr. Mansbridge in his paper of 

 February 9th, was correctly named, but that the insect was 

 not captured in the woods, but on the outskirts ; and Mr. 

 Tugwell confirmed this by showing a series from the same 

 h)cality, i.e., Huddersfield. Mr. Barrett said that these 

 specimens were of the same form as those taken on the 

 Lancashire coast ; specimens from Wallasey, Chesliire and 

 Malahide, Ireland, had a broad and siiarply-defined fascia on 

 the foie wings. 



Mr. R. Adkin exhibited, for Mr. C. H. Watson, a specimen 

 of Pieris brassiccg, L., bred from larvse found in a garden 

 at Streatham. The specimen, a female, is peculiar in having 

 the two spots connected by a blackish band, a similar mark 

 also connecting the upper spot with the apical patch. It was 

 noted by several members that this specimen approached 

 very nearly P. cheiranthi, Hb., from the Canary Islands. Mr. 

 Watson also exhibited (through Mr. R. Adkin) two specimens 

 of Apaiura iris, L., both females, bred from larvae taken in 

 the New Forest in the autunm of 1891. The larva; hyber- 

 nated from about 15th October, 1891, to April nth, 1892, 

 pupating June 26th, and July 8th, and emerging as perfect 

 insects un July nth, and July 26th, 1892, respectively. Mr, 

 Tugwell drew attention to the fact that two forms of the 

 female of this insect were found in this country, viz., those 

 with the band on the upper wings pure white, and some, as 

 tliose from Chattcnden, Kent, having the band ochreous-white, 

 and Mr. Frohawk agreed with Mr. Tugwell as to the colour 

 of the band in Kentish specimens. 



Mr. G. B. Routledge exhibited a small collection of butter- 

 flies from Algiers, the south of France, and Switzerland, 

 including from Algiers Euchloe enpheno, L., Pararge egeria, 

 L., Gonopteryx cleopatra, L. ; from Hyeres, Melanargia sylliiis, 

 Hbst., 'I hais runiina var. medesicaste, III., and Linienitis 

 Camilla, Schiff. ; from Switzerland, Polyommatiis virgaurece, 

 L., females, and Hipparchia statilinus, Hufn. 



Mr. R, Adkin exhibited a series of V. urticce, L., bred 

 during the summer of 1892, in Sutherlandshire, N. B. The 

 general tone of colour in these specimens was somewhat dark, 

 and the markings well produced and sharply defined. Also,
