Lord Walsingham read the following note supplemental 
to the paper read by him at the last meeting: — At the 
last meeting of the Society some discussion ensued in con- 
sequence of my having stated that Grapholitha, Tr., was 
preoccupied by GrapJiolitha, Hb , Verz. bek. Schm., 242 and 
243 (Ante 1826). The first appearance of GrapJwlitha, Tr., 
is Schm. Eur., vii., 232 (1829) as Grapholita, corrected to 
Grapholitha, Tr., Schm. Eur., viii., 203 (1830). The ex- 
pression, "Ante 1826," was applied to pp. 242 and 243 of 
the Verzeichniss, and was not intended to be taken as 
referring to the last page of the Verzeichniss. This gave at 
least three years' priority to Hiibner's name. As the question 
of the date of the Verzeichniss has been raised, I will briefly 
mention some information overlooked by Scudder when 
deahng with this work, which gives an absolute limit to 
the date of the last page. Page 312 was published after 
27th August, 1825, as noted by Scudder, and the last page 
(page 431) was published before January, 1827, for the whole 
work is reviewed in detail in Oken's " Isis," vol. xx., pp. 103 
and 104, published in January, 1827. Jacob Hiibner died 
13th September, 1826 (aged 65), and as there is no evidence 
whatever that any part of the Verzeichniss was published 
posthumously, we can say, with certainty, that the last page 
was published in 1826, and almost certainly that it was pub- 
lished before 13th September, 1826. My own opinion is that 
it was published even earlier in the year, but for micro- 
lepidopterological purposes this date suffices, for it is proved 
to antedate the last part of Haworth's " Lepidoptera Brit- 
annica." 
Dr. A. G. Butler communicated a paper, entitled " Notes on 
Seasonal Dimorphism in certain African Butterflies." This 
paper contained a favourable criticism of Mr. Parker's paper 
on the same subject, published in part iii. of the Transactions 
for 1895.
