174 MEETINGS. 



elegans and S. putris. This was the first list of Alderney 

 shells made out by any member of the Society, and it was 

 hoped that others visiting that island would endeavour to add 

 to it. 



Mr. Luff stated that during his short stay in Alderney he 

 had collected a number of insects, some of them of much 

 interest, but as they had not yet all been determined he would 

 defer any remarks upon them to a future meeting. 



The sectional Secretaries then made their usual reports 

 as to the result of the weekly excursions held during the past 

 month. The number of persons joining in these outings 

 seems to increase week by week, and several visitors to the 

 island interested in natural history have from time to time 

 availed themselves of the privilege of attending them. 



Special Meeting held on August 31st, 1892, Mr. E. D. 

 Marquand in the chair. 



A press of matter at the last monthly meeting having 

 unavoidably crowded out Mr. A. Collenette's paper on " The 

 Kaised Beaches and Cliff Heads of Guernsey," it was decided 

 to devote a special evening to it. The paper, which was 

 illustrated by several excellent diagrams and coloured maps, 

 embodied the result of Mr. Collenette's investigations during 

 many years, and the conclusions at which he had arrived. It 

 will be found printed at length in the following pages. 



Messrs. D. Mollet and B. H. G. Le Febvre were elected 

 members of the Society. 



Monthly Meeting held on September 21st, 1892, Mr. T. Guille, 

 Vice-President, in the chair. 



The formal business of the evening being disposed of, 

 Mr. W. A. Luff exhibited the eggs, caterpillars and chrysalids 

 of the Clouded Yellow Butterfly (Golias Edusa), which had 

 been reared by Mrs. Boley, who captured the butterfly (which 

 has been plentiful this year) on the 11th of August; the eggs 

 were laid the following day, and the earliest hatched on the 

 19th and turned to pupae on the 14th September. Mr. Luff 

 also exhibited a full grown larva of the Death's Head Moth 

 and a specimen of the Convolvulus Hawk Moth, captured in 

 the town recently. 



The usual reports of the results of the weekly excursions 

 were made by the sectional Secretaries, from which it appeared 

 that good work had been done and new species added to the 

 lists.
