reniutata^ Hb., etc. When well searched for Acidalia ornata, Scop., 

 was found, and several were captured by various members. 



It was, however, among the Noctuse that the prize of the Meeting 

 was taken. Pachetra kucophcea, View., fell to the lot of our 

 Treasurer, Mr. Adkin, who thus has the honour of re-establishing an 

 old locality for one of our rarer insects. Hadena dentina, Esp., 

 was one of the very few Noctuse captured. 



Among the Pyrales Scoparia ambigualis, Tr., and S. dubitalis, Hb., 

 were in some numbers. The Crambi were present in the species 

 Crambus pratellus, L., C. hortuellus, Hb., and one species as yet un- 

 determined. A very few species of Tortrices and Tinese, among 

 which perhaps Argyrotoxa conwayana was most common, were 

 observed, making a poor show for a locality which for years afforded 

 so many species to several of the older entomologists, among whom 

 I may mention one of our past-presidents, Mr. W, H. Tugwell. 



Coleopterists were not very strong in numbers among us, but a 

 few Coccinellidce, such as Adalia bipiinctata, L., Coccinella septem- 

 punctata, L., and C. variabilis, 111., were noted, one or two species 

 of Telephorus and a specimen of Dascillus cervinus, L., were beaten 

 out. Ova supposed to be those of a Coccinella were taken on nettle 

 leaves. 



One of our members during the rain amused himself by searching 

 for species of Collembola under yew bark, but I have as yet had no 

 captures reported. 



Those who took an interest in Mollusca must have had a treat. 

 Ifelix pomatia, L., literally swarmed, many well banded forms being 

 noticed. Eggs of this species were taken by two members. Helix 

 nemoralis, L.,was reported, and .Ff. ericetorum, Mlill., and Cydostoma 

 elegans, Miill., were both very common and variable, and both H. 

 caperata and H. cantia?ia were found ; also Buli?nus obscuriis and 

 Clausilia rugosa. 



Our Botanists collected a number of flowers in this luxuriant spot, 

 which at this time of the year usually gives the searcher eight or ten 

 species of Orchidacese. This year, however, it only produced one of 

 the family, viz. Ophrys apifera, Huds., of which a number of spikes 

 were plucked. 



Members who took an interest in Bryology and Fungi seemed to 

 have got together a fair sample of treasures. 



Notes on the Fauna and Flora of Wisley, made during 



the Society's Field Meeting on July 7th.

Under the leadership of our President, Mr. E. Step, and Mr. C. A. 

 Briggs, another most successful meeting was held at Wisley, Surrey.
