feeding during the excessively hot and dry period which was 

 characteristic of the summer of 1900. It was also noteworthy 

 that the wings had a comparatively much greater area of 

 black scaling. 



Motions. 



Mr. H. J. Elwes, who said he was acting as editor of the 

 Entomological section of the Victoria History for the County 

 of Gloucester, moved "that a Committee be appointed to 

 consider the question of uniformity in nomenclature for the 

 guidance of specialists contributing to the Victoria County 

 Histories." He stated that the entomological lists were under 

 the superintendence of an advisory committee, and he read a 

 letter from Mr. Hudd, a Fellow of the Society, who was 

 writing the article on the Lepidoptera of the County for the 

 Victoria History, asking for a direction in the matter 

 referred to. 



The motion was seconded by Mr. H. Goss, who said that 

 there was at present no uniformity in the systems of arrange- 

 ment in the Victoria County Histories, but that he would sup- 

 port the adoption of Staudinger's arrangement, in default of a 

 better one, for the Lepidoptera. After a discussion in which 

 Messrs. G. H. Verrall, H. Rowland-Brown, C. J. Wain- 

 wright, and the Rev. F. D. Morice participated, the motion 

 was unanimously carried. 



A further motion that the Committee should be nominated 

 by the Meeting having been proposed and negatived, an 

 amendment proposed by Mr. C. 0. Waterhouse, seconded 

 by Mr. H. Rowland-Brown, that the appointment should 

 rest with the Council of the Society, was carried, Mr. C. J. 

 Gahan objecting that the matter under discussion was one 

 for the editor of the County Histories and not for the Society 

 to settle.
