JANUARY nth, 1900. 



Mr. A. Harrison, F.L.S., President, in the Chair, 



Mr. Buckstone exhibited larvae of Triphcena fimbria, and 

 contributed the following note : 



" I received forty-five of this larva on December 4th, and 

 placed them in a warm cupboard admitting no light, giving 

 them cabbage to feed on ; they were about to moult for 

 the second time, and there was no apparent difference in 

 colour, all being of the light form. On December 6th all 

 the larvae had commenced feeding again. Thirty-one were 

 of the light form, fourteen of the dark form. Twenty of 

 the light form have burrowed for pupation, only one of the 

 dark. Not one of the light form has died, while eleven of 

 the dark have. 



" I should state that the larvae were kindly given to me 

 by Mr. Lawrence, of Anerley, who captured a female at 

 electric light at South Norwood, in September last, from 

 which he obtained over four hundred eggs, every one fertile."
