Mr. Fenn exhibited short series of Cirrhcedia xerampelma, 

 Hb., from the Isle of Man, and examples and series of 

 Aporophyla aiistralis, Gn., Epunda lichenea^ Hb., E. lutulenta, 

 Bork., Aiichocelis lunosa, Haw., Calocampa vetusta, Hb., and 

 Xylma semibrunnea, Haw., all from Deal. The specimen of 

 A. lutulenta, was a remarkable banded form, comparable with 

 the variety often obtained from Ireland. 



Mr. Tugwell sent for exhibition a long series of ZygcEna 

 exulans, Hoch., from Braemar with a {qw Swiss specimens for 

 comparison and contributed a paper thereon (p. 92). 



Mr. Tutt exhibited a long series of the same species from 

 Switzerland with several Scotch specimens for comparison, 

 and contributed a paper thereon (p. 94). 



In the discussion which ensued, Mr, Tutt said that many 

 Alpine valleys seemed to possess more or less well defined 

 and distinct local races of Z. exulans. He had mixed the 

 Swiss and Scotch specimens in his box and he defied anyone 

 to separate them. As a matter of fact the Scotch and Swiss 

 males of this species were perfectly indistinguishable, but as 

 a rule the females could, with some care, generally be differ- 

 entiated. The Scotch females more resembled the males 

 than did the Swiss females.

 E. Step, Esq., President, in the Chair. 



Mr. H. Lamb, of Maidstone, and Mr. A. Cosway, of Wat- 

 ford, were elected members. 



Mr. Jobson exhibited a very pale variety of Abraxas 

 grossulariata, L., captured in his garden at Walthamstow. 

 The usual black markings were almost wholly absent, the 

 marginal dots being the most conspicuous feature, while the 

 yellow markings were in no way diminished in extent. 



Mr. McArthur exhibited specimens of Hypsipetes sordidata, 

 Fb. {elutata, Hb.), from North Devon. They were all bred, 

 some from sallow, others from bilberry. It was remarkable 

 that the bilberry forms were light, while the sallow forms 

 were dark in coloration, exactly the opposite to what usually 

 takes place. 



Mr. Frohawk exhibited pallid examples of EpinepJiele 

 liyperanthes, L., one with the right primary light and one 

 with the right secondary light ; also examples of E. ianira, 

 L., one with the right primary light, and one with both wings 

 on the left side partially light. All the specimens were cap-
