F.E.M.S., 13, Arundel Mansions, Kelvedon Eoad, S.W. 6 ; Lionel 

 Lacey, Churchfield, Eodborough, Stroud, Gloucester; Herbert Macs, 

 Faircotes, Harlow, Essex ; William H. Jackson, 14, Woodcote Valley 

 Eoad, Purley ; Miss A. B. Flower, Eastbury, Surrey Eoad, Bourne- 

 mouth West. — Exhibits : Prof. Poulton made some remarks on 

 transformational deceptive resemblance in insects arising out of the 

 exhibits of long-horned grasshoppers made by Dr. Marshall on behalf 

 of Mr. Uvarov at the previous meeting. Prof. Poulton also exhibited 

 an example of Coccinella septempunctata as the prey of an Asilid, 

 Laphria flava. He called attention to some recent observations on 

 the " false head " of Lycaenidae in relation to the attacks of enemies; 

 he also gave numerous interesting particulars of the bionomics, 

 geographical races and affinities of the remarkable African butterfly, 

 Psetidopontia paradoxa. — Dr. Dixey, who illustrated his remarks with 

 a lantern-slide, discussed the venation of this butterfly. He expressed 

 the opinion that it is more closely associated to the Pierinae than any 

 other subfamily, and that there are probably two geographical races 

 of it distinguished by the venation. — Dr. Neave made some remarks 

 on the habits and distribution of this species, and of Leptosia medusa 

 and Leuceronia pilaris, butterflies that are associated with it in some 

 parts of Africa. — Mr. G. Talbot, on behalf of Mr. J. J. Joicey brought 

 for exhibition some new and rare Lepidoptera from Africa, New 

 Guinea, and the Dutch East Indies. The following papers were 

 read : "Transformative Deceptive Eesemblance in Long-horned Grass- 

 hoppers," by Mr. B. P. Uvarov ; " Elateridae of the Seychelles 

 Expedition," by M. Fleutiaux, communicated by Dr. H. Scott. — 

 S. A. Neave, Hon. Sec.
