  flies 
  of 
  this 
  locality 
  and 
  those 
  found 
  on 
  the 
  Fells 
  of 
  Lapland 
  

   was 
  very 
  striking, 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  being 
  identical, 
  and 
  

   others 
  very 
  closely 
  allied. 
  Mr. 
  Elwes 
  said 
  that 
  it 
  was 
  

   another 
  proof, 
  if 
  one 
  were 
  wanted, 
  of 
  the 
  uniformity 
  of 
  the 
  

   butterflies 
  found 
  throughout 
  the 
  boreal 
  region 
  in 
  the 
  Old 
  and 
  

   New 
  Worlds. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  G. 
  C. 
  Champion 
  exhibited 
  several 
  insects 
  recently 
  

   received 
  from 
  Mr. 
  J. 
  J. 
  Walker, 
  from 
  Hobart, 
  Tasmania. 
  

   The 
  collection 
  included 
  a 
  curious 
  species 
  of 
  ForficuUdcn, 
  with 
  

   asymmetrical 
  forceps, 
  from 
  the 
  summit 
  of 
  Mount 
  Wellington 
  ; 
  

   two 
  mimetic 
  species 
  of 
  (Edemeridcs 
  belonging 
  to 
  the 
  genus 
  

   Pseudolycus, 
  Guer., 
  and 
  the 
  corresponding 
  Li/cicZ^s, 
  which 
  were 
  

   found 
  with 
  them 
  ; 
  also 
  specimens 
  of 
  both 
  sexes 
  of 
  Lamprima 
  

   rutilans, 
  Er. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  N. 
  M. 
  Kichardson 
  exhibited 
  a 
  specimen 
  of 
  Zygcena 
  

   filipenduLcB 
  with 
  five 
  wings 
  ; 
  a 
  second 
  specimen 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  

   species 
  with 
  the 
  middle 
  legs 
  on 
  the 
  right 
  side 
  much 
  dwarfed 
  ; 
  

   four 
  specimens 
  of 
  Gelechia 
  ocellatella, 
  including 
  a 
  pink 
  variety, 
  

   bred 
  from 
  Beta 
  maritima; 
  four 
  specimens 
  of 
  Tinea 
  subtileLla, 
  

   a 
  species 
  new 
  to 
  Britain, 
  taken 
  last 
  August 
  in 
  the 
  Isle 
  of 
  

   Portland; 
  also 
  specimens 
  oi 
  Xepticula 
  auromarginella, 
  & 
  species 
  

   new 
  to 
  Britain, 
  bred 
  from 
  larv^ 
  taken 
  near 
  Weymouth 
  on 
  

   bramble. 
  Dr. 
  Sharp 
  and 
  Mr. 
  M'Lachlan 
  commented 
  on 
  the 
  

   structural 
  peculiarities 
  of 
  the 
  two 
  specimens 
  of 
  Zygcena. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  C. 
  Fenn 
  exhibited 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  Tceniocampa 
  instahilis, 
  

   which 
  had 
  been 
  bred 
  during 
  the 
  recent 
  severe 
  weather. 
  

   They 
  were 
  all 
  bred 
  from 
  ova 
  laid 
  by 
  the 
  same 
  female, 
  and 
  

   many 
  of 
  them 
  were 
  of 
  an 
  abnormally 
  pale 
  colom-. 
  Mr. 
  Fenn 
  

   said 
  that, 
  according 
  to 
  Mr. 
  Merrifield's 
  theory, 
  these 
  pale 
  

   specimens, 
  in 
  consequence 
  of 
  the 
  temperature 
  to 
  which 
  they 
  

   had 
  been 
  subjected 
  in 
  the 
  pupal 
  state, 
  ought 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  

   very 
  dark. 
  Mr. 
  Jenner 
  Weir, 
  referring 
  to 
  the 
  pale 
  specimens, 
  

   said 
  he 
  had 
  never 
  before 
  seen 
  any 
  of 
  so 
  light 
  a 
  colour. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  W. 
  Dannatt 
  exhibited 
  a 
  butterfly 
  belonging 
  to 
  the 
  

   genus 
  Omiis, 
  recently 
  received 
  from 
  the 
  Lower 
  Congo. 
  He 
  

   said 
  he 
  believed 
  the 
  species 
  was 
  Creiiis 
  Benguela. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  G. 
  A. 
  J. 
  Kothney 
  sent 
  for 
  exhibition 
  several 
  specimens 
  

   of 
  an 
  ant 
  {Suna 
  rufo-niyra), 
  from 
  Bengal, 
  together 
  with 
  speci- 
  

   mens 
  of 
  a 
  small 
  sand-wasp 
  {Rhinopsis 
  rujiconiis) 
  and 
  a 
  spider
